Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's House
Grandma and Grandpa headed south for the winter at the beginning of December, so we celebrated Christmas early.
Unfortunately, Ryan and Brandon weren't feeling the best. Ryan managed to have a good time in spite of it. Brandon was in fairly good spirits, but he fell asleep during most of the gift opening.
Jake broke his leg skiing a couple of weeks before, so he was limited in what he could do. So, this year, I brought cookies and icing so the kids would have a fun activity they could all do. I think it was a hit. They were all actively engaged for quite some time and of course they enjoyed the "fruits of their labour" too!
The pictures are out of order for some reason, but you can still see what a fun get together it was.

Ryan worked so hard on his cookie even though he knew he could not eat it (because of his upset tummy)
Ryan is distracted, but Annika is focused on her decorating.
