Sunday Afternoon...

Lately we have been going to my mom's house on Sunday's and baking away. Usually we dont make messes like we did yesterday! We had decided to make sugar cookies and once we got going we just kept saying, while we've already got the mess out lets make one more batch! Anyway after all was said and done we ended up making about 8 dozen cookies! That's a ton for us! We had a great time, I think Addy loved every minute of getting flour every where. We dont make cookies at our house cause it makes a huge mess and I just cant handle that part! We got to my mom's around noon, wrapped presents, make cookies, cooked dinner and then decorated gingerbread houses. So here are a few pictures from yesterday. 

 A few of the snow flake cookies!

 Addy used about 2 bottles of sprinkles per cookies....she likes sprinkles!

 Addy was on her own team and decorated her very own house!
 Tyson & I were on a team

 Kels was on her own team (I actually think her house was the cutest but dont tell Tyson)

 This is mine & Tyson's house

 Here is Addy's house she did all by herself. I wish I would have gotten a better picture on the inside of her house cause she was putting all the decoration inside her house! 

 Addy's again

 Kels finishing up her house

All of the houses after they were finished! We started a tradition of decorating these houses as a family last year and I am so glad we did. We try and turn it into a friendly competition but usually someone leaves mad! Its a fun tradition we started and I hope we can continue to do it each year.
