Christmas Catch Up

I have been terrible at blogging this holiday season! We have most defiantly been keeping busy, while preparing for Christmas. On the 11th, we had our annual donut night, and this year Ann was the wonderful host :) About halfway into the baking, we all started feeling sick from eating too much...but we carried on! 


The next night brought on our 23rd annual cookie night with the other Searle's! We had SIX batches of cookies to frost this year, and as always, we had a blast! 

 This year, we started a new little tradition. Every person who wants to, frosts one cookie, and then they all get judged, and a winner is declared. The tree in the middle of the second row was the winner :) 

Makayla frosted her very first cookie this year! It was a proud mama moment!
(She probably ate 6 cookies, and a 1/2 cup or so of frosting before the night was over!)

Christmas Countdown

This is what I made my Mom for Christmas :) I had fun making it, and getting her all the little presents to go inside each day. Some of the days just have a slip of paper in them, sending her to Taylor for her gift, because some of them were too big for the little pockets.
