It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

With the first snowfall of the season, I decided it was time to spend the morning baking Christmas cookies with the boys and to then head out for a some fun in the white stuff (although Mark took the boys out instead of me--this pregnant mama was exhausted after all the cooking and cleaning)



Will and Drew helping to spread out the flour (very important!)

Will had a great time rolling out the dough. Drew lost interest after about 7 minutes and decided that playing with his cars was a much better way to spend his time.

After all that hard work of baking (and while we let the cookies cool) we had a delicious reindeer snack

Ready to go outside!

"Yeah, snow!!!"

Will, Kyrie and Lari. Drew and Declan were a little less cooperative in providing smiles.

The finished product (and a bit of a crazy smile too!)

After a very busy day, Mark and I headed downtown to hear the Milwaukee Symphony Pops Christmas program. IT was a very nice surprise from my super sweet hubby (thanks for enduring the symphony, Mark---I think you are starting to enjoy it though!)
