Christmas cookies

On Saturday the girls made and decorated Christmas cookies:

 

 

Abigail enjoyed licking the icing more than actually decorating the cookies:

 Emily's Christmas angel:

Lately Abigail has wanted to carry around A LOT of stuffed animals.  All last week she wanted these in the morning when she got up . . .

 We all had to help carry them all downstairs when we came down for breakfast:

 

 She wanted all of them in the car with her on the way to school and then wanted them in bed at night.  After several days of this I think she has finally decided that she doesn't need this many animals with her all the time . . . whew! 

Also last week the girls enjoyed cutting fabric.  Emily has a fabric scrap box that she likes to play with.  They pulled it all out and got chairs next to each other and had fun making a big ol' mess : )

 I also got some workbooks from Emily's teacher to cut out all the sheets and sort them for her.  Emily wanted to help and had fun with that this afternoon:

This week we are looking forward to school parties and pajama days and then school break!!!
