Holiday Festivities

Our neighbors hosted a fun kids Christmas party last weekend. They had cookie decorating for the kids and it was a blast.

Santa even made an appearance at the end. This is by far the closest Bryton has gotten to him this year...he let him know he would really like some trains for Christmas.

Scott and Cohen were there for a little bit too, but Cohen had to head home to bed before Santa got there. We missed out on a family picture, but Bryton wanted one of the two of us anyway.

See, he was there....right in the middle of all the excitement :)

Last week we made salt dough ornaments. Lots of fun!

Then we painted them...they turned out really cute. I sealed them so hopefully they will last for awhile.

Playing play dough is a daily activity around here. Cohen has started to want in on the action too, so Scott had him sitting at the table like a big boy!

Cohen will pull everything off the shelf any chance he gets!

Making Christmas sugar cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve morning!

Looking cute by the Christmas tree before we left for Christmas Eve service.

Really Bryton?!? That is the best I could get before we headed out to Christmas Eve service on Saturday.

Cohen put out his cookie for Santa before he went to bed on Christmas Eve. Then a few hours later, Bryton filled the plate with more cookies and carrots for the reindeer. He made sure he left extras so that Santa could take some to share with Mrs. Claus. Getting a picture of the two boys together is almost impossible, so I didn't even attempt it this time.

We sprinkled special reindeer food on our front lawn before we headed to bed. I think they liked it :)
