our christmas sunday

December 17, 2007

Today was our Christmas Sunday because Next Sunday – Dusty, Kiana, and I will be at her Nutcracker Matinee. So, after our church meetings today, I rushed everyone outside into the cold with my zebra chair for family photos — they were very nice about it considering the chill…Kaymen had his grooming appt. and came home fluffy & festive –I have never made Gingerbread cookies, and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do. This evening, along with our annual sugar cookies I tried Gingerbread for the first time. Caryn Morton gave me her recipe and they are delicious! The kids had lots of fun making a mess,
