Oh Christmas tree?

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

WOW...busy, busy, busy....getting gifts, playing, baking, and just plain having FUN!!!

As you can see we have a Sonja tree for a Christmas tree! We also have our "real" Christmas tree (see below)
Sonja wanted to dress up as a Christmas tree. We also dressed Max up, but we were unable to get his picture before his greenery started to fall off. He looked pretty good too.
Here's our tree. Thank God for pre-lite Christmas trees!!! I always dreaded stringing the lights on the tree. The only part of decorating the tree I didn't like!
This year, the kids really got into trimming the tree, putting the ornaments on (mostly on the bottom, every inch or so). They loved it.

Here are a few pictures I took of the kids one night. The lighting isn't the best but I know Nana doesn't care. She'll love them just the same. Max poses like he's a GQ model or something.
Pretty funny. Look at Max. He's got his hand in his pocket and his other on Sonja's shoulder. I can't help but giggle when I look at it. I think he's the ham of the two!

Bear with his icicles hanging off his beard. He just LOVES the snow. He'll romp in it for hours until he has snow packed in his pads and looks like this! His coat is so woolly that the snow and moisture never gets down to his skin.
Snow diggleberries hanging on Bears butt!
We made our gingerbread house. Well, it was actually our second, as we decorated one at our friend Hannah's birthday party. Here are the kids ready to get busy!
Here's the basics ingredients.
Max taste testing for quality assurance.

More testing
Do you think he's been into the frosting?
Sharing with sis! Great!!! Now TWO toddlers with a "sugar high"!

The finished product!
As Sonja would say...."PERFECTO!" and "SCRUMPTIOUS!"
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Tonight we'll make Christmas cookies for Santa!!!!!!

Until next time.....
