On Monday afternoon we were the first stop on Craig's week-long visit to Kansas City. We spent the afternoon busing around Olathe running errands and ate out at Haywards BBQ - Craig's favorite BBQ restaurant that he used to eat at when Grandpa used to bring him up to Kansas City.
Tuesday morning after breakfast we rolled our sleeves up and started cooking. Craig made us beef stew, spaghetti sauce, chili and for lunch, the most amazing sloppy joe mix I've ever had in my entire life! It's all in containers in my freezer for us to eat this winter and I couldn't be more thankful!
While Craig was working on all that, Cara and I mixed sugar cookie dough and we all enjoyed a little nap while it cooled in the fridge. We got up and hit it hard again. The kids loved being a part of Uncle Craig's very first time decorating a gingerbread house! He was a big help with frosting the doors and windows and placing the tiny candy pieces here and there.

Cara's side:
Cara helped roll and cut out the sugar cookies and decorated some with sugar before they were baked and left some plain for frosting and decorating later.

Yes, some of the cookies were neon! Cara LOVED them!
Me and my little bakers! Can't wait to see how many cookies Santa eats!
