Christmas Joy!

Decorating at home!

 Putting ornaments on our first christmas tree.

 Notice that 90% of the ornaments are on about about 2 square feet of the entire tree.

 Our own felt trees to decorate over and over again.

 Playing with our gingerbread houses.

  We attempted to make salt dough ornaments and they had so much fun patting, rolling, cookie cutting and eventually painting their ornaments.

 

 Even Bryan got into it.

Santa 2012

 

Only excitement to see Santa this year, no tears!

"I want a Kai-lan doll."

 "I want a Dora doll."  Evan has been asking for a Dora doll for weeks now and today when he got home from school he sadly said, "Santa didn't give me a Dora doll".  Of course we had to explain that Santa doesn't bring his gifts until Christmas.
