Candy Canes, Reindeer, and Cookies!

In the days leading up to Christmas, we had time for a few last minute activities.

I made candy cane scented play dough for Kate using peppermint essential oil, food coloring, and glitter; we also made a batch for the Davidson boys across the street.

What looked like this when I gave it to Kate,

quickly turned into this!

 As long as she enjoys the play dough, it's fine with me.  Who cares if the colors get mixed together?!

 Kate and I made Rudolph Rolo pretzel treats.

Rolo pretzel treats never last long in our house!

Reagan, Collin, Kate, and a friend (Sydney) decorated sugar cookies and sugar cone Christmas trees.  It's all about the decorating, because no one really wants to eat cookies piled with frosting, sprinkles, and candies.  Even Collin, who seriously thought he would eat his sugar laden concoctions, never actually ate much.
