We made some fun, holiday cookies for Ben's work gifts this year. Trent loved helping me and one day I just made a whole ton of them. Yesterday the boys made and decorated some 'snoppy-laying-on-top-of-his-doghouse' cookies. It was fun to watch them have a good time decorating.
We decorated the house for Christmas in about an hour. It was perfect! I just can't see doing more when we're gone for half the time. I let the boys decorate the tree and for the first time didn't do it the way I wanted it. But I kinda understand now why my mom had two Christmas trees some years - the kids tree just isn't that pretty! That's okay, the best part was that Ben got out the tree this year - first time ever - and he put it together. At the end of last year our tree broke and we threw it out. In all the Christmas clearance we found another one and I was so happy when I remembered it was pre-lit. Now, I know that everyone will have an opinion about real and fake, but regardless of my personal feelings, I was so happy not to have to string lights this year!! You should try it sometime!! It really is all it's cracked up to be.
I thought I should take a picture of our count-down chain before it's gone. It's counting down until we leave...which is coming at me very fast.
We have a ridiculous amount of advent calendars...it's so much fun!

I love advent calendars! They are the best! A pre-lit tree. I might come and put your up next year so I can experience that!
