We Need a Little Christmas

Here are a few of the things we've been doing to prepare for Christmas (in reverse order). We also went to the Festival of Nativities which was wonderful. The perfect activity to help the kids remember and enjoy the real reason for Christmas. Of course we have also visited Santa. Believe it or not, Zane sat on Santa's lap and we have a picture to prove it (coming soon).

Enjoying the tree
Decorating the tree
Decorating gingerbread cookie ornaments.

Cutting gingerbread cookie ornaments.
Hmmm. . . distracted from cutting cookies. This became his own personal "sandbox." Don't worry. If you get a plate of goodies from us, I promise this flour won't be used for that.
Cutting down a tree (from a tree farm). I just didn't feel like carting three babies up to Mt. Hood this year--especially since Zane does not like to be cold or get in the snow.

You got a nice tree! I remember Kevin's ritual of lighting the tree...he is so precise!
