Today we went to Aunt Lisa's house to make sugar cookies and gingerbread houses. Lisa was there with all her kids, Jenny and her three were there and Shauna (I hope I spelled that right) a friend from school was there with all of her kids. It was a house full which is generally the case when we go to Lisa's house. The kids were so excited to see each other that they weren't interested in making cookies when we first got there. So the adults mixed the sugar cookie dough so it would have time to set before we rolled it out. After the dough was made the kids tackled their gingerbread houses. Actually I guess you should call them graham cracker houses since that is what we used. They all had a fun, sticky time engineering their buildings. We had a few earthquakes but once the frosting glue started to dry most of the houses remained standing. Aidan enjoyed watching the festivities as he snacked on graham crackers and candy. Chloe was so excited to see some of her friends from school outside of school. It was a great day of visiting and enjoying one another's company.

What great fun, I have some great pictures of that very thing with Michelle, Micheal, Levi and Kenny making cookies. I had to pull out the book and look and remember that wonderful year. I think it even snowed that year. We would have a fire every night. Christmas 1997
Love and Miss you all
