The Day We Had Sara & Layla Day

To kick-off our Christmas break the girls invited their BFFs over for a day of fun.  We started by making sugar cookies and eating lots of dough.

We’ve done this for several years and it is amazing how good they have all gotten at decorating.  They surpassed my ability long ago.

To help burn off the sugar, we had planned to go sledding.  The problem was that by the time we headed out there wasn’t much snow left.  But the kids didn’t care and it certainly didn’t stop them.
