So I just looked at my camera and it says I took 128 pictures Wednesday and Thursday… and I don’t really think I took enough. Since there is no way I can paint the perfect picture in the course of one post, I’ll be breaking it up a bit over the next several days. Just know we had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you enjoy the recap!
Wednesday morning we woke up to presents from Scout {more on those later} and a strong desire to bake Santa some cookies. Since I haven’t yet received the recipe for mom’s excellent cookies and she didn’t send any dough home with us, we were sort of on our own.
Instead of slaving away on such a busy day, I bought a sleeve of sugar cookie mix and tested it. It took us several tries to realize that cookie cutters just weren’t “cutting it”. We ended up dropping dough balls and decorating those instead. Ella had a great time and I even convinced her to share those cookies with Nana and Santa. Huge accomplishment here, people.
Despite our rough start, the cookies turned out beautiful and yummy, and Ella was pretty darned proud of herself. We wrapped up some for Nana, plated some for Santa and were off to wake up sweet daddy. Time to open those surprises that Scout left!
