To Bring Nyah Home: 1/3/10

Disaster Cookies!

So... I am a mom, a wife, boss, teacher, friend, adequate cook, but... baker I am not. The ladies at my work decided that they wanted to do a cookie exchange. I reluctantly agreed. So, the kids help me make sugar cookies. Normally I have a good recipe, but was short some main ingredients. I decided to try a new recipe. DISASTER! Jordan was texting all of her friends and family telling them that a bakery we would NOT be opening. Cute pics though. LOL

Nyah started putting spoons of flour in her mouth. Before I could catch her she was coughing puffs of flour and crying.

No comment needed. ;0

Tree Decorating!

Jordan

The girls did a great job. They loved decorating and left the tree alone for the most part since.

Melody kept all the kids first shoes. She wrote their birthday and coming home age inside the shoes. Needless to say, Nyah's shoes are the biggest. :) She can still wear them.
