I took a little hiatus (3 weeks) from blogging while my family was here for 2 weeks , plus I needed one week to recoup!
We had a lovely time together as everyone gathered from California, New York, and Florida to the Lone Star State of Texas!
As families go, I think I have one of the best! Loving children and grandchildren, and a loving, wonderful husband! We had a blast!
One of the things that has become a yearly Christmas (we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas 2 days apart) tradition is baking cookies with, now, my 2 grandchildren, Silas, 3 years old, and Eden Grace, 16 months old. So I thought I would share with you some pictures of the fun we had baking some sugar cookies together! From start to finish this year!

 |
| What an accomplishment! |
 |
| Time for the icing |
 |
| "It's more fun this way, Daddy!" |
 |
| "Am I going to be able to get this icing to the cookie before it drips all over the table?" |
 |
| Serious concentration |
 |
| Lots of colorful cookies |
 |
"Yummmm! The best part, Nana!"
PS: Silas loved the colorful recipe and could read the word "cup" by the time we were done looking at the ingredients! (See - "Third in a Series of Musings of Exciting Ways to Motivate Your Child to Read") |
