Cookies and Jumping!

I love that Matt has such good friends!  Zack and Jesse and their two adorable kids came over in February for dinner and to decorate Valentine cookies.  It was so fun that we decided to do it again in December!  I don't know why I forgot to take a photo of all of us together.  Oh well. 

Isabella and Addie with assistance from Dads, Moms and one Uncle created some masterpieces. 
I agree that you can never have too much icing or too many sprinkles!
Monica has become a pro at cookie decorating!  I remember sending all the ingredients and decorating supplies to John and Monica on their first Christmas as a married couple when they were still living in Argentina.  That was Monica's first time to decorate Christmas cookies.  Now she makes them look so beautiful!

The cookies were fun but the highlight of the evening for the two 4 year old girls was JUMPING!  We started this tradition with Isabella on Thanksgiving in 2018 and we 'jump' every Sunday evening when it is too cold or dark to go for a walk. Addie remembered it from her last visit to our house in February! With a thick mat at the bottom of the stairs, it is a wild place to jump. Recently we added Matt's colored cones to the landing strip.  Now the goal is to jump to certain colors.  
It gets pretty wild and crazy!
 So much fun and definitely uses up a lot of energy!
 I think we should do this again in February!  And I may remember to get a photos of all of us together!  Or at least all the guests!
