Christmas happenings and fun!

It has been a fun season of Christmas so far this year.  We have been enjoying each other and some of the seasonal activities around.  We followed last year and only put up an artificial tree.  Boo on that I say!  But it was nice that is is prelit and easy to put up.  The kids have done a good job of keeping the tree and its ornaments intact.  Caleb really enjoyed hanging his "cool" ornaments on the tree and it is amazing how many each kid already has!  Here are some pictures capturing a little of the fun we have experienced so far this Christmas season.

Elizabeth loves her $1 hat from Target.

Caleb looking so handsome and so old!

Connor and Caleb goofing around at the Festival of Lights.

E was happy to stay bundled in the stroller.

Caleb and Abby waiting to decorate some sugar cookies at Nana's house.

Gotta wear an apron if you want to roll out the cookie dough at Nana's.  Its a rule!

Nana even has a tiny apron for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth didn't make any cookies, but she tested them out and assured us they were yummy.

Caleb still loves his trains.  After 2 years, they are a favorite toy.

I made a cute holiday shirt for E using ribbons and fabric glue.  Super easy.

Have I mentioned Elizabeth's love for all hats?  Girl can't get enough!

Sibling love...melts my heart.

Cutest toddler ever!

More cookies made by me and Caleb.

Check out the messy face and hands!

Funny faces!

Our table and the mess we made.

Serious about his cookie decorating.

We are looking forward to weekend filled with famly, family and more family!  And sharing the Christmas story with the kids and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus.  Merry Christmas and God bless!
