Play Date / Cookies / Xmas Caroling

We got together with our friends, Katie & Zack and their son Ty on Saturday and had SO much fun together as usual.  Ty and Alex are just 6 months apart and it's neat to see them interacting together now that they are getting older and can play and have fun together.  I think they may be double trouble in future years but for now we're enjoying their innocence.  We took them to Kids in Motion to burn off some of their endless energy.  They both loved it and didn't want to leave!  Alex played his heart out and was asleep before we even pulled in the driveway. 

Come on Daddy, this way to the slide!


Nice to see there are some fruits in there, Alex!
Wheeeee...that was fun!

 I hosted Christmas cookie-making this year with my mom, sisters and Hailey.  We started early and made every cookie that was on our list this year.  At times, we were talking more than baking so we had a few mishaps along the way.  But, overall, it was a success!  Now I just can't wait for Christmas to try them out!

Last week, Jenny got together a group of parents and kids to go Christmas caroling at one of the nearby nursing homes.  We had a great turnout with the kids and everyone enjoyed spreading the Christmas cheer to all the residents.  Hailey made Christmas cards for every person we saw and we handed out cookies so it was really neat to see all the smiles.
