December Captured

 

 The beginning of December always brings with it

one of my favorite traditions: 

finding the perfect Christmas tree.

 Caedmon had fun helping mama put the lights on the tree.

 I didn't put sugar cookies on the list this year, 

but I decided the kids would enjoy the experience, 

so we made a small batch and kept them for ourselves.:)

Carys was into eating the dough more than cutting out cookies!

 My little dears

 Caedmon loves decorating the tree 

and especially putting the candy canes on it!

 Cousins, enjoying Blue's Clues...
at least Caedmon's glued!

 Caedmon enjoyed a specially frosted cookie 

from Grandma right before bed Christmas Eve

 Christmas morning the kids found Carys' gift waiting;

amazing how fun a table and chairs can be!

 The train was a big hit!

 Grandpa's present, a Wii, was also a hit!

 Carys took a ride on the snowmobile,

showing a more adventuresome spirit than her brother.
