The first of the traditions is to make the Countdown to Christmas chain. You can see it in the background. Jessica mailed us her chains and we put them together with the other kids links. It was really cool to be able to do this even with her away.
Another very important tradition is baking sugar cookies. Lots and lots of sugar cookies get created on that counter top. Devon was the first to go. He was so fast I didn't get a photo. Jessica and Marissa were soon to follow. They went a little crazy with the whole thing. 
Robert followed (Mark went to bed) so Betsy was last. Robert and Betsy did some together. We did all sorts of cookies. Large ones, small ones, thick ones and thin ones. Luckily we didn't do any burnt ones. YEAH! 
Jessica and Marissa started a flour war… None of us made it out very well. It was late so we all cleaned up, Jessica and Marissa doing most while I got Robert to bed. What a fun night. Tomorrow we will decorate the cookies!!!
