Ornament and Cookie Exchange

On Sunday afternoon we headed over to Alexis, Tim and Lilia's house to make Christmas ornaments and exchange cookies for our annual family party for our mom's group. After much persuasion, threatening and several timeouts Lucy, under duress, made a handprint in the clay. Two sugar cookies later and she was more than happy to paint the handprint (complete with the bobble from her knitted Grandma jumper) We had a fun time with Rock Band and then Wii bowling before coming home with a tin full of sugary treats. After such a full weekend we are very tired but happy!

(Btw we took cookies made from a recipe in our Lindt cookbook - milk chocolate maple and macademia! Not very sweet, in fact very unsweet but still very good)
