Christmas

Cece's Christmas cake

Well the deed is done and Cece has her Jesus's Birthday Cake for school today. After my first attempt came out like a bloody zombie in a coffin, I scraped off the icing and tried to convince my screaming- crying child that just the words would be enough...even pretty. But I could not stand any more crying and my second attempt stopped the tears and brought out her smile again. (pics include the final cake, my first attempt and the girls with 'Santa' last weekend.) -R

Ol' Christmas Tree

Our family Christmas tree (can you tell it was pulled over 2 days ago?), Sophie's Christmas tree which she's making with McKenzie (the reindeer is her hand, the lights she made with her finger paint and the angel is her hands and feet) and Cece's Christmas tree which she's making at school. Not sure we'll make it to outdoor lights but we're definitely getting in the spirit of the season. Next wk Cece and I will make a birthday cake for Jesus (gluten-free) to take to her Christmas party. Cece has asked that we draw Jesus and a dog on the cake :) -R
