Christmas with dear friends

Each year we get together with our dear friends the Barry and Sue Codling, Jeff, Sonia and Brendan Mitchell and Tim, Tiffany, Addy and Ava Codling! Over the years we have gone from long progressive dinners, to a shorter dinner at one house, to appetizers at Barry and Sue's complete with cookie making for the kids. We all have so much fun getting together, enjoying good company and watching the kids run around together.





Addy supervised Jackson rolling out the dough. She said he had the "muscle to make it flat".

Sue helping Brendan while I was helping Cooper roll out the dough.

Ava and Ainsleigh were too busy playing babies to make cookies at first.

Addy decided she might could help Jackson just a little bit.

Cookie making is so much fun!

Ainsleigh and the baby doll she carried around all night.

The cookies are done baking and are ready to be decorated.

Addy and Jackson loved "accidentally" getting frosting on their hands.
