House guests and cookie making!

We had a very special house guest with us this weekend. While the Beseler family was out of town celebrating their Christmas, we got to watch their dog Silva. As you can tell from the pictures below, Adam had a great time having a dog around! I don't know which one wore the other out more. Aaron and Claire stopped by for some football this afternoon, and I couldn't resist getting a bedtime, bathtub shot of the Claire Bear. She is getting so big!

I am very proud to say that I had a very Suzie Homemaker weekend. I made three meals, from recipes that I had never made before, and all meals went over very well. I also found a love of Christmas cookie baking. I have included a couple pictures below of some of the ones I am most proud of.
