Christmas Eve, Eve...

Since Christmas is only a couple days away, I decided to have my kids dress up in their Christmas Sunday clothes for church today. I think they looked so nice...

...Jantzen had to be "different" and not wear red like Jaron and Jaedyn did.

I repainted Jaedyn's nails red so they would match her dress.  She was just a "little" excited about them...

 Later on, after church, I started making some sugar cookies for the kids to decorate for Santa.  It didn't take them long to join me in the kitchen, they love to help with these kinds of things.  I wish they'd be that enthusiastic about doing chores.

It was actually only Jantzen and Jaedyn that came in to help.  I'm not sure what Jaron was doing.  Just look at how excited they are...especially Jaedyn!

The two of them quickly got to work...

Busy, busy, busy! (Love the "cheeser" face)

I think Jaron was feeling a little left out, so he joined Jantzen and Jaedyn for some "doughy" fun...

It was a big help having the kids cut out all the cookies while I baked them.  They love being a part of fun traditions like this.  Tomorrow we'll get to frost them...yummy!...I can't wait!!
