Happy Holidays! Dan and I decided we should make some Christmas cookies this year and since we don't really make many different varieties of cookies we got onto marthastewart.com and went through her millions of recipe's to find the perfect one. (code for the easiest one to make with the ingredients we have at home) We decided on some molasses spice cookies that looked delicious. Beckett was so excited about it that he decided to help too.

The finished product fresh out of the oven... soooo good!

It was a great night. To make it even more perfect we put "Elf" in to get us in the Christmas spirit. Beckett has thoroughly enjoyed it and especially loves to dance to the music.
In other news:
We are getting excited for Christmas in Denver followed by Hawaii in January... Jealous? :)
We had snow for the second time today (the first was in October... none since then, so crazy!)
Beckett is getting his second set of molars and likes to point to them so we know. He also is learning more words everyday, sometimes we're the only ones that can understand them but oh well. He's a very happy kid but lately likes to test Mom and Dad with EVERYTHING! WE have a toddler on our hands!
Dan and I are busy with church callings and taking care of a little monster.
Nothing else to really tell so Happy Holidays in case you don't hear from us for a while!

I so jealous you guys ar going to Hawaii. In that first picture it kind of looks like Dan has some sort of animal tossed over his shoulder, I was a little disappointed when I zoomed in and realized it was just a dish towel, thought Dan was going for a new look.
