Thankful…

 This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with cousins Chloe and Hannah, and Granny. The boys and I drove down to get them on Wednesday, and we were blessed with a beautiful Thursday. Granny and I cooked throughout the day, and Blake took advantage of the awesome weather putting up the Christmas lights. The kids bounced in and out playing, helping, annoying, tattling, laughing, complaining, thanking and decorating for Christmas. It was a perfect day!

 Friday they had earned the treat of going roller skating, but the roller rink didn't open until 7 p.m. So we spent a few hours decorating sugar cookies. The boys always have so much fun doing this in Mountain Home, I decided to give it a go. Both the dough and frosting recipes were fairly easy, but the prep and clean up is a lot of work. Now we have all these cookies to get rid of. No problem!
