It is SO hot here that while it seems that every year I have great intentions to do a lot of Christmas baking, I seldom make it even half-way through my list! One of the things I'd promised Julia was that we'd make Cocoa Snowflakes together. So, despite the heat, one afternoon we made these cookies.
I didn't really intend for Katrina to join us (just to watch) but she REALLY wanted to help, so I assigned her the job of rolling the cookies in the white sugar before Julia did the powdered sugar step.
Katrina ROCKED that job! She did SO well!!
We had a lot of fun, and the cookies were SO good!
Spencer helped out that evening by making Mac n Cheese for dinner (from a care package we'd received).
Josh and the boys made me an easel for a Christmas gift!
I sewed the girl buntings for their dollies for Christmas.
I also made their dollies some diapers! Katrina has gotten really good at changing her baby's "poopy diapers"! :)
Our tradition is that I sew the girls Christmas dresses...
...and Christmas pajamas!
We love how they turned out!
My sewing station! I spent a LOT of time sitting there in this month! I enjoy sewing though, and the fact that I can see the results of my work fairly quickly!
