Christmas Activities

This year, it feels like we did a lot to get excited for Christmas. From decorating the tree to decorating Christmas cookies and gingerbread houses to posing for the Christmas card photo, we were busy. Here are some of the cute pictures we captured.
One of our first attempts at the Christmas card photo. We tried on two separate occasions to take the kids to see Santa and boy was that a mistake. By the time we actually got up to see him, they cried and wouldn't talk to him or even stand next to him. Maybe our next child will like him or even sit on his lap.
Decorating the gingerbread house. This year the kids did two: one at our house and one up in Utah at Grandma and Grandpa's house. On both occasions, they ate most of the candy and were done after 5 minutes leaving the rest of the decorating to me:) Let me just say that I have gotten pretty good at decorating those babies!
And then there was the decorating of the tree. Cooper loves to put the star on top with Dad's help . . .
Of course after seeing this, cute number two had to do it too!
And our Christmas would not be complete without the decorating of the sugar cookies.
Kamryn didn't do much decorating as you can see but she sure loved every minute!
Lastly, we decided to visit Seaworld. They had an area with snow that the kids loved and didn't want to leave. There was a lot of slippery snow and even sledding for the big kids.
Cooper tried to act cool and keep a straight face as he was going down, but he just couldn't do it. He had too much fun!
