Christmas is almost here! And that means it was time to make some Christmas goodies. Jay helped Debbie and Gary move into their new house today, so the boys and I spent the day cooking. Well, Riley and I did, Travis had to go be a big boy and hunt this afternoon. More on that below.

This morning, Travis, Riley and I made some chex mix. (Which I may have nibbled on all.day.long afterwards).


Later, after Travis had left with Granddaddy, Riley and I worked on Butterballs (which I may have also nibbled on all.day.long)

Does this happen to anyone else?!


Riley enjoyed lining the cookies up


And rolling them in sugar


He was a very big helper today!


While Riley and I were making a mess with the Kitchenaid, Travis was working to stock the freezer. Sitting for hours in the cold paid off today, as he killed a doe. Granddaddy was extremely proud of him, as Travis made a "perfect" shot. A heart shot that dropped her where she stood. That was good news, because then they didn't have to go looking for her!
