Christmas Baking

This month we have done lots of Christmas baking - I love this time of year! Ambs really does enjoy it too, well, as much as she can lol

The other day Mom came over and we made her famous Buck Eyes - they're amazing!  We're giving them to our neighbors for Christmas.  Little monkey in her apron with powdered sugar on her face lol

trying some of the mix....she didn't like it

Recently she's been getting into her toy hamper all by herself - she will just sit in there and play

in there again

 We've also made Smores cookies - to die for - thanks Jamie for the recipe!

 And little snowmen!  They didn't quite turn out how the pic looked lol

Sunday we went to Devoni's to build a Gingerbread house {easy way out, from a kit} and made sugar cookies to practice for 4th Annual Bake Fest at our house on Thursday with the girls!

Ambs all ready to bake!

Ambs and Grandma

she loves shaking the sprinkles

Where's Monkey?! lol

stirring away

While everything was baking we took her outside to help grandma put up more lights - Ambs was obsessed with the neighbor boy playing basketball, she got the biggest kick out of the ball bouncing....she was giggling so much!

She went over and said hello and stole his ball lol  He was very nice to her

"Want to play Amberly?"

Our finished house....it took forever it felt like to decorate the house....

Ambs admiring the house

our finished cookies.....LOVE the new message cookie cutters from Williams Sonoma, so fun!

Ambs is over it and heading into the Gator room

When we got home Sunday I decided to open a stocking stuffer and use one....we got the Crayola bath color tabs and used the blue one.  It was so much fun!

And since it's been so cold here lately, little girl has had quite the problem with static......
