We spent the second half of our Christmas vacation at the Cook's.  Here's all the pictures from before and after Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Goofy kids

Goofy girl :)

Making sugar cookies to give to neighbors.  Yes that's a dinosaur cookie cutter in the mix :)

 

 

These pictures makes it seem like Jaxson was a perfect angel making cookies, but the rest of the pictures are the reality :)

 

Working on a Christmas gift for Grandma's and Grandpa's

Being silly with pipe cleaners

Kiah was pretty excited about wearing matching hats with Jaxson

Sometimes Kiah likes to antagonize Jaxson, I really didn't think it would start this early :)

It's been nice that Kiah is becoming an independent eater, but the clean up is a little messy

This girl doesn't mess around when it comes to eating donuts

The kids got to open some presents early so we didn't have to take as much to Utah.  This is a box of instruments because we don't have enough noise around here :)

They also got a toy kitchen and are in heaven!
