We've been busy in the last week "decking the halls"! On Wednesday we put out some of our holiday decor and the M&M lights in the playroom(the kids loved them!). Saturday it was too cold to go for a walk, so we got a little crafty and made some gingerbread paper dolls. Flora and Papa really got into it. Leo was into it for a little while, but after a while, he just kept getting into all the stuff and making a mess instead.

Last night we set up the tree. Isn't it a beauty?!? AND it fits just right in our living room! A real Charlie Brown tree. Ed got it from Up North. This was the type of tree I wanted last year, but we ended up buying one instead. The kids really wanted to "help", but since the tree is so skinny and the branches were so thin, it was a "parents only" kind of a project. They still had fun checking out all the ornaments.
We did celebrate St. Nick by giving them stocking stuffed with books, colors, socks, puzzles, and just a little bit of candy. They got their stuff on Sunday morning, so Tom could be there, too. They really enjoyed it!
Today Finn was here and we made some cute reindeer. Finn's was a birthday card for his mom, since it is her birthday today. :)
Funny that Leo's hand isn't much smaller than Flora's!
I'm sure we'll be crafting, baking, and decorating more in the weeks to come, so stay tuned(and warm)!
