Getting ready for Christmas!

We had a busy weekend getting ready for Christmas! We got our tree, made our Christmas cookies, decorated, and visited Santa! If only we had just one more day to relax instead of going to work! Here are some pictures from all of our fun!

Picking out our tree! Making cookies! Liv lining up all of the pretzels!

Then placing the chocolates in the centers...

She loved this job!

Sprinkling the pretzels with Auntie!

The girls mixing up the next batch of cookies with Grandma!

Liv making snowballs with Grandma!

Peyt had fun just eating snacks and watching.....won't next year be interesting!

Liv decorating her own sugar cookies....it was like 8:00 pm at this point :)

Think she got enough sprinkles :)

The finished product :)

Done!

New ones we did this year.

We always say we aren't going to make as many next year.......

The tired baking crew :)

Chris did a great job decorating the outside of our house......thankfully right before we got all of this snow!

While he did that we decorated the tree! Peyt liked to pull everything out of the box :) What a good helper!

Liv had fun putting the ornaments on this year all by herself!

Where does this go?

Finished tree!

Tree at night.

Girls and their matching jammies :)

Peek-a-boo :)

Love these little ladies :)

Visiting Santa! Liv did really good. She brought Santa her list and he read it, marked and signed it, called the north pole on his walkie talkie and it reported back that she had been a very good girl, he then gave her a stamp that said "nice list" and a coloring book. I love our Santa....he is so great! Peyt started crying right away but was happy when the lady gave her jingle bells like we have at home :) Needless to say....we all ended up in the picture this year :)
