Friday is Our last day of School for the Year,

We are looking forward to having 2 week's off for the Holidays!

Though it really doesn't feel much like Christmas here in

Upstate, South Carolina.

Earlier today the temperature reached to 80 degrees!(it is 77 right now!)

So Our New record high Temp. for December has been replaced to 80 degrees.

Wow! ...Yes...It truthfully does feels very weird to be wearing summer clothes in December! lol (:

Christmas Cookie's

Hope you all have had a great week!

Yesterday Katie and I made some Homemade Sugar Cookie's, we

decorated them with different colors of Icing's and Sprinkles.

We really don't like sugar cookies. we actually just like mixing all of the different

dye's to get a certain color of Icing and you know just having fun with them.
