Christmas 2011 *Part One

My mom was here for another very short, but super sweet visit for Christmas. It was nice to talk with her and watch movies, and even though she did not want to watch the Twilight series, she was a pretty good sport about it. I wanted her to watch enough to determine if she was TEAM EDWARD (BJ) or TEAM JACOB (me). We managed to watch the first, and about 30 minutes of the second. I’m gonna bet that she does not continue watching them after she’s home, but then again, she just might surprise me. (LoL) Aside from dinners out, gift exchanging, and driving around viewing Christmas lights, she had lots of fun with Lana and Jayce too.


They look so darn cute, don’t they?


We did a fun little project of making candy cane reindeers….


While Lana was waiting to glue on the eyes, she decided to give them to the ginger- bread man! (LoL)


Looking cute so far…


The reindeer’s nose would not stay on very well. However, Jayce was determined to get them to stick so he used super glue…


Now this reindeer has pretty cool looking antlers, BUT the one he did prior was extremely laughable…


A short while later, Lana asked grandma to make “pink cookies” with her....


If you look closely at the cookies, a few of them have mile high sprinkles. Lana is a bit heavy handed, I suppose.

And, of course, she was the first to try them. In fact, they were so good that dear O’ Santa Claus did not even get a crumb.


Remember those reindeer? We turned them into centerpieces for the table….
