Christmas stories

Hi there! More pictures and stories from the weekend. I had pictures of Em and I making cookies for Santa yesterday and have a funny story that goes with it. My brother has a different sense of humor so if you're easily offended, you may want to skip this one.

We were using the sugar cookie dough that comes in a tube. You just roll it out, cut it out, throw it in the oven and then frost. Well, my SIL only had 1 cookie cutter. I don't know if they got lost in the move over the summer or if that's all she had. It was candy cane shaped. So Em and I would roll out the dough, press the cutter into the dough and then try to pick up the dough and get it on the pan. I don't know if I was rolling it too thin, but I was having issues getting them from the counter top to the pan. We finally got 2 pans done, put them in the oven and called it quits for the night. Ever given flour to a 3 year old. That's what they look like, covered it in. It really showed well on the black pants.
Next day we get to frost them. I don't know why but SIL had chocolate frosting for them with red and green sprinkles. So I would put the frosting on the cookies and Em would pour (over pour) sprinkles. We got them done and they weren't bad. We put them back into the corner so the dog wouldn't get them. This is Christmas Eve now. About 2 hours later, I walk into the kitchen and my SIL is doing dishes. Now remember that these are supposed to be candy cane shaped. My SIL proceeds to tell me that my brother said the cookies looked like male genitalia. Most of the cookies fused together at the hook and the frosting covered any openings and the way they were on the plate I had to agree. Then it spread like wildfire that Aunt Diane made dick cookies for Santa. Everyone had to come look at the cookies. (I'm still looking for the picture, I think it's on the 35 mm film). We were bringing presents in on Christmas morning and Em told Shannon that Santa ate all the cookies. Which made us all burst into laughter. So I asked her again later, Em where are the cookies? And she shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know, somebody ate em all." They were in the cupboard. I guess it may be one of those stories that is only funny if you were there, or if I could find that picture.

Ok, here's a replacement page for my calendar. I think I actually have too much stuff and that's why my mojo's off. I can't decide what papers to use and it takes me way to long to go through it all. Such a complaint hun. I finally got it to the point where I was happy with it.

Well, I am so glad it's Friday. Don't know where the week went, just glad it's almost over and I get a weekend again. I have a house to clean and tons to scrap. Can't believe that 2008 is right around the corner. Wow! Have a great day and scrap happy!

Edit: While jumpin on the DST blog train I found something very interesting!
