Snow Day!

It has been to many days of snow for me. I know, it's the first day of winter so I'd better get used to it! Only 43 days though until we see Mickey and Minnie and warm sun!! I am getting so excited to tell the kids I can hardly stand it! Today I made them Mickey pancakes for breakfast and each day and dropping some clue/hint about going. I am planning on wrapping up things that I've got them and put in part of the sentence "We are going to Disney February 2" and letting them spell out the sentence. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Mickey may call about 9:40 in the morning but I'm not sure if our reservations qualify for the call so I'm debating whether or not to give them the gift before or after when the call is supposed to come.

Anyway, we have been doing a ton of baking the last 2 days! Yesterday I made sugar cookies, haystacks, and macaroons. Evan, Gretchen, and Kira came down to help decorate the sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun and the cookies had a little more sprinkles than normal! Today we made molasses cookies and Russian Tea Balls. The kids helped roll out the molasses cookies then we put belly buttons(raisins) and sugar on! I used to do this with my grandma and it's one of the only memories I have of her. I love that my kids are now doing this also! Below is a slide show of all the cookies and fun we've had. We didn't get any of decorating the sugar cookies, we were to busy assisting the kids to get pictures!
