Today, we had some great friends over for dinner.  As always, it was so nice to see Matt, Sarah and baby Mason.  He’ll be 6 months old next week.  Look at this face – how could you NOT just melt when you see it?

But before Sarah, Matt & Mason arrived, Joe and I took some pics with the kids.  We got some good ones this time around!

And then we had a visit from Santa!!  We had not only Matt, Sarah & Mason visiting but our neighbors, Angie, Toby and their 2 girls came to visit as well!!  Everyone had a great time!!

Santa asking Maddie if she’s been good…look at that straight face when she lied to him and told him yes! LOL Just kidding!

2nd Annual Cookie Decorating with the Goen’s

For the first time last year instead of exchanging gifts with some friends of ours, we decided to decorate cookies instead.  We all loved it so much that we’ve decided to do it every year.  The kids had a blast decorating the cookies and doing crafts.  And in the true spirit of Christmas – by the time Tena & Everett left, it was snowing!

The cookies right after they were baked!  I make them extra thick (between 1/4-1/2″ thick) so they hold up to the decorating!
