around our house

 today there is more cookie baking and decorating.

it's nice to get these boys in the kitchen with me. 

they actually were the ones that wanted to make cookies today.

 they lasted long enough to make a big mess.  but isn't that what being in the kitchen with kids is all about?

 they are so proud of their creations.

 oh, and did i mention the mess?   sprinkles are everywhere around here today.  {good thing for that new black lab vacuum we got this past summer!}

we even managed a big long walk through our neighborhood today. 

today is the start of christmas break.  i can't wait to spend all my time with these special boys in my life! 

christmas music blaring, boys screaming and cookies baking....aahh...the sounds of christmas break!
