Shopping with Daddy

Jordy and Kaylea had a long date on Friday night.  They started off by heading to the mall and shopping for presents. They had dinner and ended up seeing a movie.  It was hard to stay awake waiting for them :)

Ornament Exchange 2015

In keeping with my favorite holiday tradition, we exchanged ornaments last week.  Jordy got a Broncos ornament and I got the White House ornament.  Kaylea got an ornament with make-up. I think we were all pleased with the selection this year.

Cookie Decorating

In keeping with tradition, we decorated our famous sugar cookies this year.  Kaylea has gotten a lot better at cookie decorating and helping out in the kitchen.  I also tried a new decorating technique so the icing looks a lot smoother than normal.  The cookies were delicious.

Girl Scouts - Pancakes & PJs

Saturday night was the first of 3 parties in 7 days (the only one at our house thank goodness).  We hosted the Girl Scouts for Pancakes & Pajamas.  In all of the excitement, I completely forgot to take a picture of the kids. 

We started the evening with breakfast and then went downstairs and turned on a movie.  Most of the kids did not watch the movie.  They did a sewing craft and also made pillows.  It was wild and it was loud.  We played a few games and then it was time for the kids to go home.  It was a fun time, but exhausting to prepare for this time of year.
