Katie and I went to our first of many years, I hope, of the Pacific Northwest Ballet of the Nutcracker. She had such a wonderful time and did an amazing job sitting quietly and sitting still. It was a wonderful memory maker!

Nate and Cousin Rori were intent on making beautifully decorated Christmas Sugar cookies! They were so covered in frosting and sprinkles... just the way little one's like them! Uncle Dan brought Rori over while Katie was at school one morning and the kids helped roll out the dough, cut our the shapes, and then decorate them. It was a growing experience for me... letting them do it how they liked, no matter how messy it was, and it was so wonderful! They had a wonderful time, and so did I!

Katie of course, wanted to decorate cookies after school... She was so creative!
