Cookies, snow and cuteness

Time is going by so fast. I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Jared has been really busy at work, so we can hardly wait to have him all to ourselves for 10 days! We made gingerbread men cookies today and took some to our nieghbors. It was a fun project that Mackayla has been looking forward to all week.

It was definitely bath time afterwards!
Licking the beaters (this was when we made the dough this morning before church)
Mackayla wanted her pictured taken with her pretzels. We finally got some snow on Saturday. It was Bradley's first time playing in it and he enjoyed it overall, but we had him bundled up so much he could hardly move. Mackayla of course LOVED it!

I'm finally starting to really see the effects of Bradley's gender. I've seen a lot of pictures lately of my nephews climbing and getting into things, and now Bradley is starting to join in the fun. Every time I turn around he is climbing on something and Mackayla will quickly say, "He sure is a handful!" Fortunatly, he is just plain adorable, so even though he's a handful we sure love him. It's pretty cute to see how proud he is of himself everytime he makes it on top of this table. Boys will be boys!
Mackayla visiting teaching Bradley. She loves to play "visiting teaching."
Reading the comics (we heard that kids who learn to read upside down first are much smarter than kids who just learn to read everything right side up)
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Everyone knows that comics are much funnier upside down. The cookies looked like a big sucess!
How did they taste?

I can read upside down but I think that I am the dumbest block around (just my opinion). I didn't get to see the "Goofball" gingerbread man. They sure did look good! And Bradley is sure a handful! Haha!

Good job doing Christmas things...we're so far behind this year. We haven't made cookies or gingerbread houses or anything this year. And, you must be doing a good job visiting teaching, because it looks like Mackayla is teaching a message instead of just "visiting." Merry Christmas!

Cute cookies - good job! How fun that Bradley got the climbing gene. And Mackayla looks like a super visiting teacher.
