Baking Cookies

We baked some s'mores cookies (used this recipe here) on Sunday for a cookie exchange and West got to help us out.  :) 

I always give Brad a hard time for wearing a towel on his shoulder when he's working in the kitchen (only because when I go to dry my hands I can't find it hanging on the oven!) so he had to put a little one on West's shoulder while he was helping us out.  :)

He makes this face all the time lately - it cracks us up every time.

Something about his grin here just makes my heart smile!  I'm out of focus on these next couple but I don't even care because his face is just too cute. 

Christmas Cards

West loves coloring and drawing, so he insisted on helping me write out Christmas cards the other night.  Look at that concentration!

Cousin Kara's Gymnastics Meet

We got to go watch our cousin Kara compete in gymnastics last weekend.  It was so fun!  She is such a great little gymnast - got first on the floor and fourth overall!!

Hanging out with cousin Travis and Rayma.  Love their shirts!!

Grandma Dee and Papa Johnie were also lifesavers with keeping West entertained!

 Wasn't able to get many pics of Kara competing because I don't have a zoom lens and we were way in the back, but I was able to get some pics of her floor routine.  Here she is warming up with her teammates.

 First on the floor event - go Kara!
