Cookie Day 2012!!!

Sunday was Cookie Day!!! We started baking first thing in the morning!

Ollie unwrapped a whole bag of kisses...not sure how many he ate!

Time to put them in the peanut butter cookies...

Aunt Erin and Ivy arrive next.  They are going to make stain glass cookies with sugar cookies and jolly ranchers.  Ollie got to crush the jolly ranchers with a sledge hammer on the back porch.  He loved it!

Aunt Patti & Laurie arrived with the cookies to decorate!  Everyone arrived in the morning this year...we got an early start!

Time to decorate!

Aunt Patti is sticking little bitty kisses onto the back of nutter butters with regular kisses to make them look like acorns.  Talk about patience!

Lots of cookies!

It was a perfect cookie day!!!

Tonight we decorated gingerbread houses at Maw Maw's  house!

Beautiful!

Ollie cannot resist taking a bite out of his house.

Good job Ivy!

Ivy liked to eat the candies.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Last Sunday we had our second Thanksgiving at Teresa & Lester's. Ollie gave Liam his toolbench. Of course he had to show him how to play with it!

Ollie & Uncle Lester watching something on my phone.  It was great to see everyone and get caught up and of course the food was awesome!

Thanksgiving Day - Maw Maw & Papa Stu got in town late Wednesday evening so Ollie was excited to get over there Thursday morning.  Maw Maw had a treat waiting for Ollie & Ivy!

Later we went to Papa's to celebrate my birthday and then we headed over to Aunt Patti's for our last Thanksgiving dinner!  Ollie & Patti were boxing on the Kinect and he beat her everytime.  That kid has moves!

Friday after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas decorations and then headed over to Maw Maw's to help put her decorations up too!
