Preparing for the Holidays



Kiley and I created gum drop trees!



Decorating cookies...this one was topped with NERDS

Kiley enjoyed marshmellow snowmen cookies

We also had time for a quick trip to the park

This is Sally, our Elf.  We sure are going to miss her.

The Sticky Buns....so tasty!

I enjoyed having a full week off before Christmas just hanging out with my girls. Kiley stayed really busy, baking cookies, creating holiday decorations and ornaments, finding Sally, singing lots of Christmas carols, eating tons of candy and cookies, and spending a few hours at the park.   Oh, and watching the Grinch, like a thousand times! Hopefully I will update more on Christmas and our trip home soon. Happy Holidays everyone!  Looking forward to 2011 and making new memories!
