christmas cookie party

This first picture is of Alex, before the cookie making partywe had yesterday. I was telling him that his buddies were coming over to play and he was already waiting for them is his p.j.'s.
So, yesterday we had our first annual christmas cookie making party. Dalit and Asher, Linda and Uzziel, Monica and Patricio, Me and Alex and Dalit's friend Jenny all came. It was really fun... except when I knocked about 30 cookies on the floor at one point!!! The good thing was that we saved about 20 by blowing on them... Everyone came early to bake the cookies, I had already made the dough ahead of time. I think only a few had ever made cut out cookies before so it was also like a cookie class.
We took turns watching Alex, Uzziel and Asher since Patricio is still pretty small yet. They played outside with dirt and on the swing and with the balls and shopping cart...well they fought over the shopping cart. They also played inside too. Everybody was here almost all day long since it took so long to bake and then decorate all the cookies. Overall we had a great day.
