Cookie Contest

Mel's family does a cookie contest and they asked us to come be judges.  We were all happy to help. All of the cookies were so good!

They take this very seriously and were nervous about the results. Chelsey was on the couch feeding Isaiah so she couldn't join in the hand holding. 

We voted anonymously and Paul counted the votes and announced the winner. 

Ataiya could not have been happier to win.  She made poptart brown sugar and cinnamon cookies and they were really good.  They were all really good.  Mel had a trophy made and Ataiya's acceptance speech was so funny!

We loved seeing all the kids.  Isaiah is looking so grown up, he doesn't look like a newborn anymore.

Wesley is just so cute!

And he is always smiling.

The girls loved playing with Hallee and Tessa and Hallee and Tessa were in heaven.

Judah slept on my for over an hour, it was so fun.  He was a bit startled when he woke up and saw me holding him. 

Hallee was very excited to play with and hold Judah.

They all had fun playing together downstairs. Mel's house is so fun.  The kids love grandma's house. It is little kid heaven over there. 

We had so much fun visiting and watching all the kids do and say cute things.  I love going to Mel's, it reminds me of going to mom and dad's when our kids were little.  Mel is so much like mom and such a wonderful grandma. 

Tiff and Paul went to his mom's concert after Mel's so I took Hallee, Tessa and Damon to dad's for dinner and a Christmas movie.  We brought some pizza and watched "While You Were Sleeping." Mel came over too.  It was really fun. I'm glad the kids got some time with grandpa.
