Packages, PJ's, and Sugar Cookies

There are a couple of things that have become somewhat of a Halloween tradition in our home. 
1. A jam-packed, candy-filled, Halloween care package from Aunt Vicky, Uncle Bob, and cousins Jordan, and Ryan.  Could they be an nicer???  Honestly??
2. Sugar cookie-making/decorating/eating far too many.
3. A lot more time spent in Pj's - because it starts getting colder, and darker sooner!  My kids LOVE Pj's.  Can you blame them??  Seriously.
Here are the kiddos in their new jammies from our sweet package senders. :)


Here is a little snapshot of the cookies.  I have to say, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with these because they are so fun and cute, but such a mess and a process that I have to commit to doing them - otherewise, I won't.  Also...the little girls HAVE to be in bed...an absolute must!


There are no pics of the final product for 2 reasons : 1. We couldn't eat them until the next day...by the time we got them done, it was bedtime and they weren't cooled enough to frost.
2. By the time they got frosted and decorated, they were pretty much eaten.  So suffice it to say, they were delicious! :)

For our sweet package senders - THANK YOU!  These mean sooo much to us.  We love you!

Enjoy Halloween, it is so much fun in the US. It is a shame we don't have it here.
