Baking Cookies

Today Noni came over for some Christmas baking. We had so much fun!We made sugar cookies.

I love Julia's little floury face :)
Julia said her favorite part of the day was Noni's shirt. She's had this shirt for years. It's got three snowmen and any time there are three of things, the kids think it's Sam, Julia, & Sophie. They're not egotistical or anything! They concentrated so hard on decorating the cookies so perfectly!
And something about their creations just make me SO happy! Probably because I dreamed so long about having kids to enjoy my favorite time of year with... and doing Christmas things like cookie decorating with them. Now here we are. Happiness! I know this is the 5th Christmas we've had with our little blessings but it just keeps getting better and more fun!
Here are a few shots with my latest obsession - my hipstamatic.

This hipstamatic app for the iPhone is so much fun! Doesn't everything look cooler with a John S lens and a dream pop flash?

Doesn't this picture look like something from 30 years ago?


We had Christmas with the Glisers over the weekend. The kids always have fun going to Grandpa & Rainy's! Sam was always pulling Grandpa over to play.
Here are the girls bestowing love upon their Aunt Darlene. Sam was in there too but ran away for the picture. In fact, I think that blur at the end of the couch is his leg!


We enjoyed a delicious meal together.
I love this picture of the girls. They're playing with some of the Christmas decorations at Grandpa and Rainy's house.
