Happy December :)

We started out Monday picking up LOTS of cinnamon to make some Cinnamon Cookies. They were super easy to mix up although watch out for the cinnamon powder it'll make you sneeze :) Rose enjoyed picking out the cookie cutters and was helpful in rolling the dough and pressing out the shapes. The dough was a little sticky, though, so I put them out on the tray. The whole house smelled really yummy while they were baking.

 Tuesday was also craft day and another idea from Pinterest: Snowman Craft. I was curious if this was going to work, but it really does and is very cute on our door.

The dollhouse is still under construction, but Justin is getting more done and it *might* really be done by Christmas.

We also got to hang the cinnamon ornaments on the tree. This was really a fun and easy craft and now the house smells awesome :)

Rose also got to dress up again at dance class! AND she walked in the room by herself this week with no clinging to mommy :)

On Wednesday I had to start my work week. This is not Rose's favorite day...here she is calling 'work' and saying that she can't come in because her baby is sick. She then told me it was 'ok mommy stay home'. I wish I could little girl!!!

Thursday our Christmas cards arrived and Rose was awesome in stamping and stuffing with mommy.

Then she 'mailed' them to all her friends! Mommy might manage to get the real ones mailed out by next weekend...

Friday was jammy day...not that Rose isn't in her jammies every day, but we both stayed in ours all morning because we didn't have anywhere to go!

We played babies because Rose 'just wants to play babies'!

 We even did baby laundry...I sure hope mommy and daddy are getting this little girl her own washer and dryer for Christmas ;)

I was able to pull her away from babies for a few minutes to do another holiday craft...I think Rose glued on about 5 pom poms and then went back to babies, but mommy had fun!

Friday night Rose played hide-and-seek (her very favorite game) with daddy. She is getting to be a sneaky little hider and found a new hiding spot behind the pull-out trash cans :)

Saturday morning Rose wanted to go with mommy for my haircut appointment. so afterwards we went out for breakfast! It was really nice :)

When we got home Rose wanted to jump in puddles....it was all going well, until someone fell in the mud

After cleaning up we decided to play with babies...what else?

Sunday has turned into 'Family Funday' as it is our only day all together during the week. This Sunday we had tickets to ride the train with Santa (although Rose was more a fan of Mrs Claus).
