Gingerbread cookies

Yummy icing!
Helping daddy stir the cookie mix.

Decorating the cookies.
I know they look pathetic....but that icing was hard to work with. This is the group shot of the cookies before Izzy helped herself to a few.

We made Gingerbread cookies with Allie tonight. She had a great time getting her hands dirty, but an even better time eating the icing. Stephen was pouring it into her mouth like easy cheese. Probably not the smartest thing to load her up on sugar before bed....but there are some things in life you just need to let loose and enjoy the moment. We also had a fun time with her today trying to catch resee peices in the air in our mouths. Allie would throw one up and open her mouth and the candy would land feet away from her.

As for me and this pregnancy....I have been pretty nauseous and tired! For dinner tonight, it was a plain baked potato with ketchup. It's different this time around, I feel bad, but I can't let it stop me because I have a very active 2 year old to keep up with. We are almost 9 weeks....and I am counting down the days until we are through the first trimester!
