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

Sam & Madie are busy at school making crafts, we are reading our Christmas books every night and looking at lights in the neighborhood. They loved trimming the tree over the Thanksgiving weekend, clumping several ornaments on a branch because they wanted all of their favorites next to each other!

Yea! Minnie Mouse and Tow Mater!

Checking out the detail

My mom made Christmas aprons for the kids and we

completed our first batch of holiday baking last weekend.

They love to move the ornaments all around the tree and "decorate" it over and over again.

It hasn't hit the floor, yet. . . enjoy S&M's rendition of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer!
