Last Saturday was our first Christmas of the season. Only 6 more to go! I love getting together with all of our families over the holidays. A lot of years I dread this time of year because of all the busyness, but this year I am actually really looking forward to it. I'm trying to get as much done as early as possible.
I have a lot of my baking done thanks to our baking weekend and cookie exchange with my sisters, SIL and mom, but still have a handful of things I'd like to make. I still have a little wrapping to do - my least favorite job. This year we started the tradition of the Elf on the Shelf. So far I don't think it's working too well, the boys are still naughty ;) I have several other things I'd like to make traditions at our house during the holidays, but there just never seems to be enough time to do all I want to do. I'm reading a book called Touching Wonder - Recapturing the Awe of Christmas by John Blase. I'm only to chapter 3, but it is really good and fitting for this time of year. Noble Christmas

Kellen was excited to talk to Santa
And Cooper not-so-much
Riley wasn't too fond either
Even my Grandma got to sit on his lap
Cooper got a firetruck
