Christmas Cookies - December 24th

I have such fond memories of making Christmas cookies with my mom and Shannon...so I decided that Meredith and I would make them together this year. What was I thinking?!? She loves to help in the kitchen, but she is so dangerous!! I really had fun with her, but was exhausted by the time we were finished...about 2 hours later.

I prepared the cookie dough the night before, but we still had to roll it out, cut out the shapes, make the icing, and decorate.

Here are some pics. Enjoy! :)

Pictures with Santa

Meredith actually sat with Santa all by herself this year. And she told him that she wanted baby dolls and choo choo trains :)

The Nutcracker - December 11th

We took Meredith to see the Nutcracker...and we weren't really sure what to expect. She isn't always very good in public. She was so good, though...and she really liked it!! We were on the front row, so we had to put 2 booster seats under her so she could see the stage. Everyone around us commented on how good she was!! We were so proud of her, and had a wonderful evening!!!
