Chunky Christmas Cookies

Sloan had this cute little tee shirt we bought at Walmart, but she didn't like wearing it because she thought the vest looked funny without a back.

So I decided to make her a back for it. I didn't have any black knit, but I did have some black polyester cotton fabric, so I cut out some little tie pieces and sewed them on.




She really liked it! This is her after school, so the ties got a little squished.


I found some really great directions for hair updo's over at That's So Cuegly. Linds was actually guest blogging over at A Few Good Things so you can find the post here. This is Sloan's hair with one of the styles. She really liked it!


Here's a side view!


I wanted to make some cookies with red and green M&M's, so I came up with this recipe.
