Christmas 2008!!

Christmas was lots of fun this year. We looked forward to having Santa come for many weeks. We made and decorated cookies to leave for Santa, and left him a glass of milk too. The boys wanted to leave them on their table so Santa could sit and rest. I think Santa did very well...our boys are definitely spoiled! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!

Visit with Santa and Christmas crafts

A very successful trip to the mall followed by Christmas crafts at home made for a very fun day!! We listened to Christmas music and decorated paper trees and snowmen, and made a little paper chain for our tree! It really put me in the Christmas spirit!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We decorated the house and our tree last week. Cody was very into decorating the house. Blake helped, but not as excited about it as Cody. We are excited because while the boys "got" Santa last year, this year they REALLY get it. They talk about the reindeer, and they know that Santa's watching (does the holiday season have to end?), and they know Santa comes down the chimney. We're already planning on making chocolate cookies and milk on Christmas Eve.
