Cinderella......

Mimi Rupp asked earlier this week if JD and Ella would be available to go see Cinderella at the "Round Barn Theater." This was the kids first musical, here they are getting ready and Ella wore her princess dress under her coat here and JD is dressed up as a handsome prince.

Merry Christmas, cookie baking!

So, here we are doing our annual cookie baking, mom and I each baked some goodies ahead of time and then got together to bake a bit more and then put trays and boxes together, lots of fun!

This year the kids were at the age to be eager little helpers. Here is JD helping Mimi roll out the peppermint shortbread cookies.....

and here is Ella dipping her cup in sugar and smooshing her cookies down, oh they loved helping..... don't worry those of you eating some of these cookies, they washed their hands very well...... mimi was more concerned that they get all of the soap off so we didn't have any funny tasting cookies:)


here they are decorating some extra sugar cookies, check out the end result at the bottom... yum, yum!



sprinkles anyone?
Here is a random picture taken a few days ago, they were eating some strawberries that I had frozen and I here JD say, "mom look at all the blood all over my face?," they quickly had my attention, I turned to hear Ella repeating what her brother had said and JD giggling because there were strawberry remnants all over his face:)
