Two Dogs


Bruster has a friend Lucy staying with us. We are watching Greg and Denise's dog while they are out of town for a few days. They watched Bruster for us over Thanksgiving. They added Lucy to their family over Thanksgiving. Lucy is 4 and they have played hard.
This is a sweet picture of them after playing together. They have also had some disagreements. Lucy went into her crate one time to get away from Bruster and Bruster later hid under the couch to get away from Lucy.
These are the cookies I made today for a cookie exchange with MOPS. They are Reces Cup in cookie dough, Chocolate Covered Cherry cookie, and Chocolate caramel surprise. This is what my sweet daughter did while I was baking. She was actually very good and napped for awhile. This was towards the end. She was snacking on crackers and was sharing with the dogs. I put her in her booster seat and she said she was done. The crackers were on the counter and this was towards the end of my baking. She reached up to get them about 30 minutes later, dumped them on the floor and said Uh, Oh. In her defense she did try to clean them up and put them back in the box. That is my girl!


Trying to get a picture in their cute aprons before we started our Gingerbread House.Aubrey going for the candy!
Decorating a tree. I was very excited because this kit had the icing already made up and in a bag, usually you have to mix up the icing on your own. I thought how easy can this be. More to come...
Things going along smoothly.

Our problems start. This wonderful icing did not ever harden - just got sticky. We tried many attempts at the roof staying on and finally had to declare it a disaster. Ethan was upset for a second, but we assured him we would buy another one and try again. It was a good idea. I am glad that we did it early in the season!
