Happy Winter!

Baby It's Cold Outside!
In celebration to the coming winter and the longest night of the year we made a beautiful wreath from twigs, leaves, and grass that we collected from a local park close to our house. We made a yummy sun cake that was decorated with yellow and orange M&MS. I think the decorating was the boys favorite part! By the end of the night Maddox had a permanent yellow ring around his mouth. Before we ate it we each rang a bell and told each other our favorite part of winter:
Mine-The darkness and pitch dark of the night. Seeing your breath and wearing scarfs.
Bailey-People needing heat and him being busy with work.
Graysen-Jumping in puddles.
Maddox-Splashing Graysen and eating cake.
Then we ended our night by setting up our tree. It was a perfect way to celebrate winter.

That sounds so awesome!Things like that make the Holiday's totally worthwhile!!!!

We looked at lights last night with the whole Chicca clan as a part of Kathryn's first birthday celebration.... Tomorrow we're going to be doing our whole cookie decorating party thing. I had been planning to do it on Saturday but then my Mom needed help after her whole fall thing so I ended up helping her instead.Hopefully tomorrow will go off without a hitch!
