Another 7 hour car ride brought us back to New York. Last minute shopping, wrapping and cookie making were in order...oh and a very appreciated snow fall.
Making Christmas Cookies is a tradition at the Wierbinski house, however, it is more about being a bit crazy rather than beauty (much like the tootsie roll cookie or the icing blob cookie) and we have a few artists among us now, that brings it to a whole new level.
My sister picked up these silver sprinkles that turned out to be the hit of the whole cookie making event as they tasted like metal....of course we didn't realize this until after decorating several cookies and then testing them.
The cookie makers at work:
Cookie baking was not the only thing we tried to cram in before Christmas Day. It snowed! In the moister air of CNY this means...SNOWMAN making! We did do some sledding behind the house too of course :)
My nephew Aaron and I did most of the creating, until Amelia and Dad arrived from playing on the snow covered swing set.
It was perfect snow and Amelia LOVED the cowboy hat!
I posted the family picture day earlier when I was in NY, but I did miss this pic: My great nephew Conor and a snowball fight with his two very cool uncles...I am sure Conor won :)
Next: Christmas Day
Hey- That's my old, old scarf on the snowman!

You might want to check the basket in their coat closet! If I had been thinking we should have found a bandana for thr snowman to complete the cowboy look:)
