Sprinkles

Yesterday the kids helped me with a Christmas tradition: we made holly. Like Rice Krispie treats, only with cornflakes and green food coloring. It was so much fun... I actually relaxed for a while and let them do all the stirring, and then they took turns putting the berries on (red hots) and eating them (one for you, one for me, one for you, two for me...). Today, we've been working on cookies. They are sprinkle-nuts. Seriously, if you pick up a cookie they put sprinkles on, you are covered in sprinkles because there is no way the poor icing could possibly hold that number of sprinkles! Anyway, it's fun. Now we're on to stacking the presents for NC (trying to fit them all in a single laundry basket should be fun) and getting ready for Sugar Cookie Day at Aunt Sue's house tomorrow and NC the day after that!
