We had a fun and busy week with lots of Christmas get togethers with family. We got to get some pictures at some of the get togethers.
We went to Grandmother and Grandfather's the Friday before Christmas. We had breakfast for dinner, the girls opened presents and we visited.
The girls playing with their art sets from Grandmother and Grandfather.
We made gingerbread and sugar cookies for Santa on Tuesday.
We tried a new way of decorating cookies this year. We painted our cookies with egg yolks and food coloring. They turned out really cute and the girls had fun painting their cookies.
Katie helped me put the cookies in the oven.
We were also so excited about opening presents that we decided to open our presents from each other Tuesday night. The girls gave their gifts to each other and Rich and I exchanged gifts. It was so much fun!
Christmas Eve we visited Grandmother and Grandfather and took them their gift.
Then we went to Grandma's for Christmas Eve afternoon and evening.
Playing in the giant gift bags.
Picking out their cookies for Santa.
Katie and Audrey each got a backpack made by Grandma. Katie packed hers as soon as she got home.
