Getting in the Spirit

Seems like the moment Thanksgiving was over, it was time for Christmas! We rounded up the troops and made some cut out sugar cookies. Thankfully, we opted for one batch because that was about the extent of the attention span of 3 and 4 year olds. We had fun but I'm pretty sure Addison's favorite part was eating the final product. And if it wasn't for adult supervision, I don't think too many cookies would have made it to the final stages before she ate them!


Brianna was there for moral support. Next year she can join in the fun!


Yum, yum!

After the cookies were baked, decorated, and eaten (woops) we decided it was time to get the tree up. We researched going to a tree farm and cutting down our own tree but then thought better of it and loaded up the kids for a trip to Lowes! Addison had a great time decorating the tree with her daddy. She loved to hang out in the living room at night with only the lights from the Christmas Tree on. Since I'm doing this retrospectively I have a funny story to add... As some of you may know, Bryan likes to take our Christmas trees and sink them in the lake behind our house to make a place for fish to hang out. Addison was completely boggled by this idea and said, "Daddy, you are so silly... fish don't live in Christmas trees!"


And it's perfect!
