Getting Ready for Christmas

Along with making pies, Spencer has taken it upon himself to cook dinner with a new recipe once a month. He has been enjoying the instant pot. Pretty sure he uses it more than I do.

Spencer also made some homemade cranberry jam with fresh cranberries. He made two batches to give to family and friends for Christmas.

 
Kadee is pretty silly. And she loves to read. She passes a lot of time entertaining herself in both ways.

She is not, however, a super helpful Christmas cookie helper. She mostly wants to eat the sprinkles.Although, she does do ok with putting sprinkles on too. I tried out some royal frosting for our sugar cookies this time, and I LOVED it! It was super fun to decorate with.
Not great for a diabetic to have so many sugar cookies lying around. We gave most of them away.

 

I guess decorating (and eating) cookies makes a person tired. But this girl sleeps like a weirdo. She insists on putting the coat over herself. At least this coat is big enough.
