Cookie Day

We have cookie once a year just before Christmas. We get together and make goodies for Christmas and let the kids decorate sugar cookies. Things seem to get a little loud when you get 11 kids together under one roof =)

The kids enjoy it! It is all about creating memories anyway isn't it. I remember how fun it was when I was a child. We would go to Grandma and Grandpa Well's house and with our aunts and cousins and make cookies. I always looked forward to Cookie Day and I am hope my kids will do the same.

After the party I took 2 of my older sister's kids home with me for the night. Dominick's brother and his 2 kids were already at my house staying the night so I thought why not add some more noise?

We had fun playing video games and eating pizza. At bedtime Nicholas was more than ready for bed after not having a nap and going all day. I put him in bed went to my room to get his inhaler and went straight back to his room... he was already out. The 4 girls all went to sleep pretty fast after they laid down. Cody however stayed up late playing games. I don't know what time he went to sleep but at 5:50 am (I had to work) when I woke him up to take him back home he didn't want to get up.
