Today our activity was to make sugar cookies for our grandparents and then go visit them. This was a lot of fun for the kids, especially Cooper. He always likes to visit his Great Grandparents. It is nice when you find the time to visit them, I love to talk with them and just spend time with them. They all mean so much to us. We weren't able to visit with Grandma and Pa Edwards because of where they live, but we are excited to see them in a week. And Grandma and Grandpa Johnson, we missed you and hope that you are feeling better Grandma. Our prayers are with you.
First stop was with Aunt Emeline. This is Grandpa Johnson's sister, and we love Emeline. It was so fun to finally see her house...after 8 years of being married, you would think I had seen it by now. Emeline gave the boys some flashlights that were a BIG hit...Bode loved his! Thanks for the fun time Emeline.
Our next stop was Grandma Van's... the kids had a fun time chasing Angel the dog around, although Angel is getting a little old and not wanting to be chased so much. We brought dinner to Grandma & Carl also, it was fun to serve them and spend a little time chatting with them.
The last stop of the evening was with Grandma and Grandpa Richards. What a sweet little couple. The rest of the family was here also, so it was nice to chat with them too. Grandma always has fun little toys to entertain the kids...hopefully we weren't TOO loud- I highly doubt that.

By this time, the kids were pretty tired and ready for bed- I wasn't about to get Bode for a picture. It would have been a terror.

Thanks Grandparents we love you and appreciate all you do for us!
Day 17- Visit Grandparents with holiday treats.
I guess you could say that we really didn't "make" the cookies. All we did was take them out of the plastic wrap, place them on the pan and a few in our mouths (I love cookie dough) and toss them in the oven, and ta-da! Beautiful Christmas cookies for Santa's tummy!
