Snowflakes, cookies and mancala

It's been a few years since we've made a ridiculous mess cutting snowflakes out of coffee filters. Seems like it's been just enough time to feel relevent and nostalgic all at once. 

Cookies! 

Pretty good job considering we are working with a made up icing recipe and some plastic butterknives. 

And to top it all off...a video call from Elder Hufford! He is mastering the mancala. Mark has a few tricks up his sleeve too. I'm happy to be at the receiving end of "Look at me, Mom!"

And just for the heck of it...isn't the tree looking country cute??
