Our winter break is finally here, and it has started with lots of Christmas spirit. On Thursday evening, the teachers from Sara's school caroled around the neighborhood. We had a fun time singing along and seeing some friends from Sara's class. It was cool and drizzly, but the teachers were great sports; I love this tradition they have.
Yesterday we made gingerbread dough, and today we made our first batch of cookies. I saved about half of the dough to make more cut-outs in a couple of days, and we also plan to make spritz cookies. I personally love the peanut butter cookies with the Hershey's kiss on top, but those are out in this household.
The girls were happy with how their cookies turned out ... we don't skimp on the sprinkles around here. They taste as good as they look!
I can't believe Christmas is only a few days away! Just a handful gifts and groceries left to buy tomorrow, and we should be set. We're preparing to have the Brittains over on Christmas Eve, and for Santa to visit and our trip to Florida on Christmas Day. Cleaning, wrapping, and packing are on the to-do list, but I'm feeling no urgency. Everything that needs to happen will happen, and in the meantime, we're just enjoying the spirit of the season (extra calories and all). It's a wonderful time!
