I finally got some Christmas shopping done today. I spent over two hours in a bookstore! I got books for everyone in my family. All the adults get funny books, but I bought a variety of different books for my nieces and nephews. Some of the books I bought were books that we have read in grade 6 this year. My nieces and nephews are giving me lots of suggestions of other books that I need to read. I ordered a few of them and hope that I can read them out loud in class when we get back.
After the shopping frenzy I went to my brother's house for the annual Christmas cookie decorating party. I was very excited because it was my first time. I have never been home in time to go before.
My sister-in-law, Susie, makes TONS of sugar and gingerbread cookies and then invites all the family members from her side and my brother's side to come over to frost
them.
Susie collects cookie cutters. She has a huge amount and one of the fun things about the day is trying to figure out what each cookie is. Some are easy but others are pretty difficult to figure out. As the day goes on, our guesses get sillier and sillier. The decorating does too.
It was fun, but also messy. It is a good thing they have a dog. She kept going around and licking all the frosting off the floor.
Now I can't wait to eat them!
