It's beginning to feel and look like Christmas

Here are a few of the festivities we have been doing and enjoying over the last couple weeks to get in the spirit.  FUN TIMES!!

First things first….putting up the Christmas Tree

just getting started.  maddie checking out these
things we call "ornaments."

fighting me for a "breakable" one she wasn't
suppose to have

HAPPY to see one with Mickey and Goofy


The two big kids hang ornaments, Maddie screws the tree with
her toy screw driver

very happy to see his face on his homemade ornament from last year

quite proud

Peyton finds hers from last year too!

The angel is a Daddy job

This is when things start going south.  Jack tried to stack two stools
together to get higher.  He Lost.  


Party is OVER!

Next up….annual gingerbread house making with Grandma Jeanne.





And then we have some hot chocolate after our first snow and sledding…..neither of them really 'like' hot chocolate but they know it's a novelty, so we keep making it and they keep wasting it.  ha!




On to making Christmas cookies with Grandma Farm and Aunt Dawn (and Garrett and Wyatt too).  The kids didn't join in until the end.  They had bigger things on their agenda first….nintinto and sledding.


the designated dipper 

the designated "cookie baller"

finished sledding, ready to help with the turtles

grandma's helpers

TA DA

ALL DONE!!……until next year

And for the grand finale we visit the big man!!!!

Jack enjoys his one-on-one time with him

Peyton does too

Maddie…not so much!

LOVE everyone's expression here….even santa

Much better if Peyton can hold her instead of santa
