Christmas prep

This weekend we were able to enjoy a little christmas cheer.
Friday night we all made gingerbread cookies. Not gingerbread men because I don't have those cookie cutters. We made gingerbread animals. Sometimes I have these grand visions of our family time. Many times the actual event falls short of what I have invisioned. Luckily this wasn't one of those times. Christian did great and I did great. We had lots of fun making these cookies. He knew how to roll out the dough. He did a wonderful job of cutting out the cookies.

Then Saturday night we got the tree out of the attic, put a fun Christmas CD on and put on Christmas decorations. That was lots of fun too. Archer was in the swing facing the tree enjoying the lights. Christian enjoyed picking through all the ornaments. I enjoyed putting up all my Capitol Christmas ornaments. I have almost ten years worth. Chris loves putting on the ornaments Gammy has passed down to us. Christian's daycare classes usually make a cute craft. I have the ornament that was made when he was in the infant room. A sweet glass ornament with his little hand print on it. It is so precious. Hard to believe it was only a few years ago, he was Archer's size. We made some sweet little family memories tonight.
