Visitors who came bearing cookies

Troy, Shirley, Kaitlyn & Sean came to visit this weekend. Sean showed off his cheerleader skills and was nicknamed "Bella Seanderella".
Jeff worked on teaching Aidyn the finer points of Guitar Hero.

The big event of the weekend was making Christmas cookies. Troy & I each stirred up a huge batch of cookie dough so the kids had their work cut out for them. Saturday afternoon they cut out the cookies and baked them. Oh yeah, they ate cookie dough too, but just a little bit....

Saturday night was spent decorating...

And eating frosting...

And eating frosting and decorating at the same time... (This is a video.)


And hoping to sneak a bite...

We all had a great time and we have a whole lot of beautifully decorated cookies to show for it.


It was sure fun having them come for a visit. Apparently it was either too fun or just not long enough because there were a lot of tears shed this morning by a little girl as her cousins drove away. But she's already looking forward to seeing everyone at Christmas!

These cookies all look too good to eat! Very impressed with the time that was put into each one. Can't wait to try them - except maybe not the ones Nolan decorated!

I feel so sorry for Nolan knowing that he had to taste all that frosting to make sure it didn't go bad before he got it all used up. Good for you Nolan. Love you.
