Christmas Cookies

Charlie and Becky came over to make cookies for Santa with us. Harrison was sick and missed out on all the fun, but they made sure to decorate some for him. Sweet kids! They even wore their aprons, which added to the fun.

Their favorite part of the cooking making process was

picking the cookie cutter and pressing them into the dough.

Watching the cookies bake was very entertaining.

They got to eat the first cookies that came

out of the oven after they iced them.

I love this picture!

Santa will be sure to love his cookies this year!
They were made with love by three precious children.

Yep, it's pretty close up!

Christmas Party

After Paige's dance recital we headed off to the hospital Christmas party.

It was nice to enjoy a night out!

Rock A Bye Christmas Baby

Paige had her dance Christmas dance recital tonight.

She was a little cranky before it started,

and just kinda stood there during the performance. I

still thought it was precious!

PS. I will download a video as soon as blogger let's me.

For some reason it's now downloading.

Paige sure knows how to make her Mama smile!

Homework

An Early Christmas

On Sunday we celebrated Christmas with my Dad and Nancy. Both sides of the family came it we had an absolute blast! Santa made a surprise visit and the looks on the children's faces were priceless. Santa was so good with the kids, and stayed and took pictures with all of the families. After he flew off in his sleigh we ate Mexican food and played Dirty Santa. I hope this becomes a regular tradition with the Dobson/Parrott families!

Dad and Nancy were such great hosts!

My little brother Jay and Natasha

My sweet little family

John and Lindsay just got engaged and we couldn't be more happy!

My brother Jim with Annie and Mary Kate.

MK was a little scared of Santa at first, but she warmed right up to him

when he pulled out the gifts....ha!

Nancy even had a pinata for the occasion!

Here's the whole blended family!
