Suzy and Andy: December Doings

After a super busy work season this fall, it's been really nice to just hang out with the kids at home. We've made cookies. LOTS of cookies. Suzy really enjoys helping and so I usually set out some dough for her as well and her own little tray so as not to cross-contaminate. ;)

This time, Andy has decided he's old enough to join in on the fun. Suzy supplied his flour and he ate as much as he rolled.

My sweet friend, Tanya, came over again for our annual cookie bake. We made lots of cookies. Like six hours worth of Christmas Yumminess. It was insane.

And it was delicious. So much for my weight loss this month.... ;) I was glad to give most of them away to neighbors.

Suzy has also been enjoying wearing a few new pair of tights I bought her for this season. She just cracks me up on a daily basis.

Andy has decided to try artwork. He loves the markers and crayons. Where Suzy likes to use just one color, he's more rainbowish.

Not bad, for sixteen months.

I have to figure out a way to frame this one. It's a Suzy portrait of her and Andy. Andy is blue and she is "pink".

She also did a family portrait, including (umprompted) Mamaw and Dopadop and the dogs.

Andy is climbing EVERYTHING. He is learning how to use the PVC stairs like a pro to get into all kinds of new mischief.

Suzy and I went to the Nutcracker Ballet with Grammy. She loved it and I was extremely surprised that she made it through the entire thing. We are starting her in little dance lessons in Jan. and I figured it would be a good segway.

I solidified further my reputation as "that family." Now, in my defense, I bought my own footed jammies a few years ago simply because I find them hysterical and they are great for theme parties. I really don't wear them that often. It's hot in Texas, ya'll. But, I bought the kids Christmas Jammies as little Santa's Helper reindeer footies and wanted to get some photos of them. Then, I found this hysterical Santa footed jammie at Target this year and bought it immediately for the Fisher's White Elephant Christmas Party. I bought a large simply because I didn't know who would end up with it. A room full of professional magicians? It had to be the best gift brought. And it was. But first, I had to subject Rob to some too tight jammie torture. He really is the best husband.... EVER.
