Christmas Prep.

 

I have gotten ridiculously behind on posting, partly because we had work done in our basement and then it flooded and fried our computer.  But we got a new computer out of the deal!  We’ve had a lot of fun this Christmas – sorry to post all of our pre-Christmas pics at once, but I have to get them up!

Making salt dough ornaments for our Christmas Tree and for presents!  First we made the dough, cut them out, and cooked them, but the painting was the girls’ favorite part!

It was always my family’s tradition to go cut down our Christmas Tree every year.  We took the girls this year and they loved it!

The girls all ran behind Brian yelling, “Look at Daddy, he’s so strong!”  It was adorable.

Who wants to put the star on the tree when you could honk Daddy’s nose instead?

We do an advent study called Truth in the Tinsel that includes lots of crafts.  This is the night we made crowns for the coming King.

Waking up to the first snow of the year.  Unfortunately it cancelled Bella’s pajama day and holiday party at school!  But they were very excited.

And last, but not least, cookie making and decorating!

  1. Haha! We cut down a tree each year too, but it must be much colder by us because our pictures are very different ... everyone is bundled up and all you can see are their red, snotty noses!
