The Christmas Festivities Have Begun!

Saturday kicked off our Christmas Festivities.  We went to the Annual Christmas Cookie Decorating Contest hosted by Ralph & Lane Gonzalez.  We started keeping track of the winners in 2007 and have a plaque with the winners' names on it.  Brent tried saying I don't like decorating, but I had to remind him that my name is on that plague.....not his!  :o)  Anyway, Zuri wanted to help mommy decorate a cookie.  Here's a picture of her hard at work.
 Here is a picture of the entries.  I think they all turned out great!  Mariella won with her Santa cookie (minus the head, arms, and legs!).
After the contest, we took off to go to Uncle Eric's and Aunt Karen's for Christmas dinner.  Zuri was interested in the presents, but when it came time to actually open hers, she was not into it so much.  Eric, Karen, and Trevor bought Zuri a puppy (that sheds just like a real one!).


Today, I went shopping with Aunt Julie while Zuri and Daddy went to Uncle Jon's and Aunt Amanda's for a play date.  Zuri would not take a nap the entire time they were there.  She ended up falling asleep on their way home at about 4:15.  She woke up at 5:30 just in time for dinner.  She was in a zombie-like state for quite some time.  :o)
