Christmas Eve

Elli in front of all the presents. She could not wait!

Elli loves to help me cook. She has really mastered the art of rolling out the dough. It was so much fun baking these cookies with her.

Christmas Eve began with a great morning of baking and ended with desserts and coffee at our house. What a wonderful day. Elli and I enjoyed baking cookies of reindeer, trees, stars, candy canes, snowmen and bunnies. There was flour everywhere and some cookies lost their parts. Other cookies were not even distinct cut-outs, but we baked and iced them anyway! We danced to Christmas music, played, and had the best morning! After her nap, we went to mom and dad's for dinner and presents. We then went to our church for the service. It was an excellent service.
