We made cut out cookies together which took twice as long to do with her, but oh well, and decorated together. My husband was not satisfied with our outside decorations either, but I think they looked wonderful. I am sure next year there will be more. Abby's favorite gift was her Grover from Santa Claus. It was just what she had asked for.
