We couldn’t have our cookie party like we’ve had the past few years (2019, 2018 boys and girls, 2017, and 2016) but we could still make cookies!!

I was really missing GJ to help us make all the cookies (she’s the best cookie baker), but I of course had a good helper…

and plenty of decorators!

This one stole and ate more marshmallows than he decorated cookies!

Yum Yum Yum! I’m sure Santa will be pleased!

Merry merry!

Last week we got to see one of our very favorites…Mrs. Susan!! The kids were surprised after school on Friday when she stopped by and they sure were happy to see her!

An LOL towel and Tua socks! Mrs. Susan killed it!

We love Mrs. Susan!

Merry merry!

Samantha and I dressed as Christmas twinkies last year and I couldn’t resist doing it again! Our greens are a little different but I’d say it’s close enough!

Love my crew!

Merry merry!

After doing our candy house on Saturday, we also got to go decorate gingerbread houses at the club on Sunday! Fun all around!

I’d say they all did a great job…

and all wanted to eat them when we got home! ha!

They quickly learned that this type of gingerbread is pretty hard and crunchy and not great for eating. I’m thinking we need to make some gingerbread cookies soon! Lots of holiday fun!!

My very favorite Christmas tradition – the candy house! Previous candy houses here – 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

I’m not sure who looks forward to doing it more, the kids or me! But, for the first time, I stepped away and let the kids really do it all. I helped spread some icing and finished off one side when they lost steam, but I did my best not to intervene and let them use their creativity! Not gonna lie, it was hard…very hard! But, they did not disappoint!!

Maxwell’s side…

Spencer’s side…

Samantha’s side…

and the side they all worked on a little but then I kinda finished…

Definitely the best one yet!

Merry merry!
