What a truly wonderful way to start the new year! I love the pictures of your dad and the boys together - so sweet.

Wish we could have met Dad too, man he looks like fun.
Do you by any chance have any Jets fans in your family? :-)
A great start to the new year. Looks like everyone had a great time!
I see that you decorated the cookies after you baked them this time.
My husband pointed out to me that you could decorate cookies before you baked them if you were just doing sprinkles. :)
Happy New Year!
Looks like a great way to start the year. :-)
Your grandparent posts are my favorite.. I love seeing your boys and your parents forming that ever-so-important relationship that only exists between grandparents and grandchildren. Love the picture of you and your dad too.
