Getting ready for Christmas!
Last weekend Joseph and I went to Madison to make Christmas cookies with Nana. We stared as soon as I got there at 10:30 and finished around 5:30, that's a long time to be working with sugar and chocolate for a couple of ladies who don't enjoy the sweet stuff so much! One batch of sugar cookies grew together, but we thought they came out looking rather interesting.
Papa, who does enjoy the sweets, helped us too. He watched Joseph, sugared our sugar cookies and watched the timer.

After the cookies were made we did get to have some fun too. I went to watch the Xavier game with Brian, not a victory for XU, Nana and Papa played with Joseph, and Papa did and amazing job decorating the tree while Nana, Brian and I kept him company and pointed out places to hang the ornaments.

Nana taking Joseph for a little walk, it will be a while before he is up on his own!Look at Papa's hard work! The beautiful tree and the amazing wrapping job he did on all those gifts, what a gift of himself he gives us every year!
