Christmas Cookies ...

Okay, here is the "fun" post for today ... the below pictures are a little re-cap of the very festive, very fun Cookie Party we went to on Saturday night. An annual tradition for Kelly, Andrea and their family and friends. I'm so glad we made it this year and a HUGE thank you to Andrea for opening your house to us ... you're a brave woman and deserve some type of award!

Ethan, clearly proud of his green gingerbread man ...

And for those of you who don't believe I would sit back and allow him to frost and sprinkle his own cookies ... well here is proof ... I mean really, do you see that plate of cookies? Do you those "creations" had any influence by me?!?!

And did you notice that each cookie had a little "sample" bite (or two) taken out!

We also enjoyed a night out with friends, while Ethan enjoyed an evening with Aunt Julie and Uncle Mike. Saturday we had the cookie party and Sunday I enjoyed a girl's night out ... to dinner and a movie.

Lots to be done this week ...

But I've made a lot of progress today ... thanks to a sick little boy, who is quite content to be cozied up on Daddy & Mommy's bed watching t.v. I can't really blame him ...

Happy Week of Preparation & Enjoyment of this most wonderful time of year!
