Alex and I made cut out sugar cookies. I envisioned quite the merry time with glorious looking cookies to take pictures of in the end. My first tray all melted together and ended up one big blob and there were no definate shapes to anything. I ate those. Hide the evidence. We continued to try to use the cookie cutters. They clearly should have come with instructions for people like me because they just weren't working with the dough I was using. As Tim was working in another room he kept hearing me say some choice words (no cursing but evidence of sheer frustrations and the realizations that I will never be that mom who brings desserts and gorgeous treats to kid functions or to make with the kids). So, I had to think fast and change my attitude. Afterall, it was the time we were spending together. So we made cookie houses (easy enough to cut out with a knife) and a cookie cake. The results were not so beautiful but we did have fun and Alex had a SERIOUS sugar high. Another note to self: make cookies in the morning next time...not right before bed. The cookie above is Al's house. It's hard to see but she seriously layered about six layers of sprinkles and candies. Note the empty sprinkle jar next to it. It was full when she started.
What a bean. I weighed him today.... 11 POUNDS!!!! They are supposed to double their birth weight by like six months or something? Uh, I think he'll reach it alright.
Alex is still insane over Sam; And he is for her as well. She does a great job entertaining him and hollering to me whenever he has spit up...though I usually know before she hollers because I hear her gagging.
He has lost nearly all his hair except for a very attractive ring around the back of his head, it keeps growing. I'll have to get a picture of it. It's too funny. He is also plagued by the horrible baby acne. Both my babes were in the lucky 20% of babies who get this awful afliction with no reason. Boo. And it's clearly not bothering him...just his mom. At least it goes away. But they are still stink'n cute!!!

I think the cookies look amazing! I like the house idea, more to decorate and to eat. Sam is adorable, I can't believe how big he looks, and so alert. Hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas together! I'm sad I won't see you next week :(
Aw, I miss Sam sooooo much. He looks adorable. Really starting to look like a handsome little boy and less pod creature like.;) Awesome pictures.
