Cookie Time

It's that time of year again where us ladies (and a few gentlemen) get together to make and decorate cookies! This year we had an amazing turnout and not enough cookies to go around in the end... all in all, they were beautiful and delicious (I should know-I had 5 for breakfast this morning)!
The girls enjoyed the cookies. They took turns biting and exchanging them. Avery kept that bow on her head for a long time... I was very impressed, Caitlyn won't let me put anything in her hair.They also enjoyed reading together...
It was so nice to see Kory home after his long trip. We could tell that Avery missed him too!
And of course Santa made a trip to our house to see if the girls were being naughty or nice. He brought them little bags of pretzels (Caitlyn's favorite) and an Alaska Mint Coin. What a guy! Caitlyn (as you can see from the picture) was scared to death of Santa. She let out an ear piercing scream when we got near him. On the other hand...
Avery did pretty well. She was frightened at first but warmed up to him pretty well!
What a fun tradition.
Oh... and this morning, when I was typing this post, I heard a big bang, looked outside to see sparks and our power lines swaying... and the computer shut off... we lost our power. Luckily it came back on and we are ready for our holiday party tomorrow!

You guys definitely got better pictures than we did...I might have to direct my readers to your blog. :) Thanks for having us all over...it sure was fun and festive. I ate 2 cookies on the way home and I've been eyeing my cookie tin all morning trying to resist. I'll probably end up eating some for lunch! LOL! Love you and see you this weekend!
