Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve

Christmas Cookies

Each year the boys get to pick one Christmas cookie to bake with me. 

Elias chose white chocolate peanut butter krispies. 

Augustine chose melted Hugs on pretzels with M&M’s. 

I made dipped butter cookies. 

I made Grandma Carlson’s peanut butter stars. 

I made raspberry pinwheels. Never again. They pop open more times than not.

Lewis made chocolate crinkle cookies. 

The Weird Storm

We had some strange weather blow through last week. They canceled school, it was 73 degrees and gorgeous most of the December day, winds were clocked at 94 miles an hour, and it rained a bit. It didn’t amount to much in our neighborhood, but other neighborhoods not far from us reported completely different experiences, and 25 tornadoes were confirmed in Nebraska. At one point we were in a tornado warning so we spent a little time in the basement. Logan had come home early and worked from home due to the weather, so we spent some time in his office. The big boys were at G&G’s. 

Clouds

Levi noticed these clouds, pointed them out to me, and told me they are fun. He also noticed they are high up.

They also rocked in the rocking chair and took a nap.
