Christmas Spirit

We all went up the mountain with Bob and Doris's family to pick out our Christmas trees. It was a cold day but this didn't stop the kids from having a great time on their sleds. Virgil and i waited in the vehicle most of the time as he did not like the cold.

Getting in the Christmas spirit, I did a little baking. This gingerbread Santa's sleigh is an advent cookie calendar counting down the days till Christmas. I hope Justin and Dawson's braces hold up with these hard cookies!

Juliette couldn't wait to get in on this excitement. she decorated this beautiful snowman all by herself.

I had fun with the cookie exchange this year. There were 5 of us participating. this is such a great idea, you get all your holiday baking done and gives you an excuse to get together with friends.
