Xmas goody exchange with The Lira's! Above, Gracie, Scarlett & Stella are getting ready to choose a chocolate treat for dessert. Faith and I are assembling all of the chocolate snacks.

Stella always gets to pick out a snack when we go to the grocery store. Sometimes it's a box of crackers, fruity yogurt, or a kid's cookie from the bakery. Today, she decided it needed to be the biggest powdered sugar doughnut on the planet. Now, how is it physically possible that she still weighs only 25 1/2 lbs! Later in the day, we made our first gingerbread house.

Mon Nov 22

Licking the cookie dough beater. I tried to make cookies (healthier) by substituting oil for the butter and while the dough was delicious, the end product was awful. Do NOT waste time trying this at home. Ugh.
