We had to have two days of baking cookies this year because Pete needed six trays of cookies to take to work as well as our normal cookies for the family. The girls wanted to help a lot more this year then last, and they were a lot of fun to work with. Leah loves to cook, so she spent most of her time in the kitchen, but Beth took a break to make Christmas cards for her family. She spent a lot of time on them, wanting each one to be original and special for that person. A lot of thought went into each one. Even Leah needed a break, and there was always our nativity set to play with. Actually, there were two there because we had Sarah's out before she took it back to Louisville. The older girls loved to play make-believe with the set and Anna delighted in taking pieces all over the house. We had a treasure hunt every so often to restore them to the set. A couple were found in unexpected places, but none were lost. Here's day one.
One of the best parts of making cookies is eating the dough!
Cute Leah!

Anna wanted to make cards too.
Here's Leah with the sheep.

Leah is a big helper. She really concentrated on measuring and is very good at it.
