Ok, Cameron really likes clothes. We were in the laundry room excavating clothes for the day when she spied this very sweet sweater she wanted to wear. It still fit her despite the fact that this was the sweater she wore in last year’s holiday card! Isn’t it cute?
I had the “brilliant” idea of making gingerbread with the kids. Oh wait. No. They requested gingerbread. I knew it would be messy. So, after I took pictures of Cameron, I dragged our activity table into the kitchen area and let ’em at it.
Chloe helped, too! So glad we have an activity table…! They “needed” so much flour.
So much flour!
We didn’t actually get around to the messier part of the project — the decorating — until the next day! Cameron is definitely not a minimalist!
Dylan is now a bit more careful in his designs.
We also ended up decorating Nutter Butter reindeer (accidentally vegan high-fructose syrup product! )
Those chocolate covered pretzels are dangerously good.
I also made some mexican wedding cookies, pecan truffles, and almond toffee bars. When all was said and done, we had a decent plate of stuff for Santa (and to share at Candice’s Christmas Eve gathering and our celebration with HAKT and the Claussens)! Dylan decorated the plate that he had painted last year at Petroglyph and we left it out for Santa. Wise Santa ate the toffee bars and just nibbled on the other stuff. That would have been my choice, for sure!
