Making sugar cookies is messy....
....but lots of fun too!
Decorating Christmas cookies with the Jennings.
Benjamin was much more interested in eating the cookies than he was in decorating them. We finally had to have him stop, as he just kept eating and eating them.
Some of the finished product.
Ben and Shelly were with us Christmas Eve......here is their gift.....a baby towel for their new baby coming in July.
The prettiest package of all!

WAKE UP, Daddy!
MUST we wake up this early??? (It was already after eight, and the other boys were ready to get started!)

Her first real baby doll. I think she thinks it's another person.....it's cute to watch her interact with it.....but she mostly likes to chew on the doll's head!
