Cookies anyone......

Yesterday the kids and I headed for my sisters house for our yearly cookie baking :) Someone PLEASE come and take some of these cookies outa here. Ugghhh being pregnant during the holidays is tough!! It was so much fun though as always. We made so many different kind.....sugar cookies, gingerbread, gingerbread house, a shortbread recipe that made 3 different cookies, polish delights, cheesy sticks, and M&M ones. Can we say sugar HiGh :) My boys LOVE playing with his 2 older cousins and it's always such a break for me because they are such great little mamas. It was fun but it is also nice to be home now.
