Cookie Decorating with Nana

My Mom has started a tradition that she decorates cookies each year with her Grandaughters. Last year Mackenzie was still too little, but she had a great time today. She loved it and was so focused on decorating her cookies and gingerbread men. She was SO proud to give a cookie that she decorated to her Grandad and her Daddy when she was all done. It was so cute!!

Ready to decorate!

Very focused on her sprinkles!

Working hard

This is fun, thanks Nana!

Enjoying her hard work

Giving Grandad the cookie she made for him, she was SO proud!

Breakfast with Santa

This morning we took Mackenzie to have Breakfast with Santa at Immanuel Lutheran Church. We weren't sure how she would react to good ole St. Nick but to say the least she wasn't thrilled at the idea of sitting in his lap. Better luck next year!

Sophie thought Santa was great! He even got a big hug before we left!

Cuddle Bug

Mackenzie is quickly on her way to a speedy recovery from having a cold. Since she's not been feeling 100% she keeps asking to cuddle up on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her. If only this quiet time would last more than 1 minute!

Fun with Friends

We were so excited last weekend to see Joe, Samantha and Stephanie. They are good friends of ours that we haven't seen it quite a while. Samantha babysat Mackenzie while I worked from the time that Mackenzie was 2 months old until she was 16 months old. They have a really special bond and I was so happy they were able to stop by and spend some time with us.
