Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

It looks like we are going to have a white Christmas. So far we have gotten about 6 inches of snow since yesterday and it is supposed to continue. Forrest Jr. is loving it and has been watching frosty the snowman a lot. Forrest had duty yesterday and had to stay on base overnight due to the bad visibility and amount of snow, but he is home now. We took Forrest Jr. out to play this afternoon and he loved it. Even Missy came out to play, although she wasn't too sure if she liked at first.

We are definitely missing all of our family as Christmas approaches. We wish we could be home with you guys, but thanks to Grandma Hill's cookie recipe we brought a little bit of home to us today. I made some cookie dough and then Forrest Jr. and his friends Lilianna and Olivia came over to decorate cookies. Mostly they ate the frosting, sprinkles, and took as many bites of cookie as they could when we weren't looking. So I guess I should say that Amy and I frosted cookies this morning while the kids got hyped on sugar. Then they ran around like crazy kids for a while. Currently Forrest Jr. is napping :)

Here are some pictures from our fun morning and I am including a video on the side of the page.

Forrest was helping me make Chocolate Chip Cookies.



This is the view from out of my kitchen window this morning.


Decorating cookies. Forrest told me last night that he was going to share his car with lilly when she came over, but that was just to hard once she got here.
