Cookie Party

Saturday, Dec. 11th

Played a few gamesKatie picked them

Beforethe decorating began.

Yummy, he licked the frosting off and then ate the cookie.

Perfect Morgan.

Spectacular Zach.

Creative Katie.

 We had some black sprinkles that the first group put on cookies for their siblings to make their mouths black but the second crew decided to eat them and see what happened.  This is what happened.

 They would eat a handful, run to the bathroom and come show everyone what their tongues looked like... pretty fun, crazy and they loved it!    

Trevor's sister, Stephanie, gave us a 24 days of activities mini muffin tin and we loved it.  On the 10th we had the activity of making cookies, so on the 11th we had friends over to decorate them, instead of a cookie exchange because it was easier for me.  Then on the 12th our activity was to take treats to neighbors.  We used some of her ideas that came with it and them did some of our own. 

Some of the activities we did were:  watch a Christmas movie, decorate cookies, plan and carry out a service project, go sledding, start 12 days from Bushka and Papa, sing Christmas Carols -  we skyped Grandparents to do this, play a game, make a gingerbread house, get and wrap sibling presents, read about the birth of our Savior, decorate the tree, listen to Christmas music, attend a Christmas party, read a Christmas story, get and wrap Teacher gifts... there were several more and they were all fun and it is a do again next year.
The muffin tin activities made waiting for Christmas nicer, more exciting and we did more/different things than we would have without it.  Thank you Stephanie!!!
