We have had a great time getting ready for Christmas this year! First up, decorating the tree! Daddy got us a stepladder and boy did we have fun with that! Sam liked to clump his ornaments together in big groups :)
I went to a Ninjabreadman class at the Park and Rec. I had to practice my ninja skills before we left!
We decorated our gingerbread trains we got from G&G Hyland. I was very serious about decorating mine...Sam just wanted to eat the decorations, but he did decorate his too.
Daddy took me squirrel hunting. This was the first time going to where Daddy hunts. We sat in the blind, had some snacks, and Daddy got 2 squirrels. Not bad!
Mommy tried to get some pictures of us for the Christmas card for our teachers at school.
I had my program at church and I did some singing this year!
Mommy tried to get a picture of us dressed up. As usual, we were two moving targets!
Last week was Breakfast with Santa for Mommy's work. Santa read an "Elf report" on all of the kids. I think Sam was explaining his naughty report here....
He didn't quite agree with what was being said.
Ah, Sam....
We made cutout cookies one Saturday night and then decorated them on Sunday. I stuck with the whole process and even rolled the dough myself to cut them out. I loved the smell of the dough. Every cookie I made, I would sniff and say "that smells sooo good".
Sam liked the rolling part!
Sunday we celebrated Grandpa Hyland's birthday with lunch at the Mexican restaurant, cake and presents at our house and then swimming at the hotel with a pizza supper.
We had to decorate the cookies too! Sam and I each got our own plates of frosting since we couldn't be trusted to not double dip in the bowls.
