…Deck the Halls, and Other Holiday Happenings…

 

The kids both had so much fun this year helping us decorate the Christmas tree!

Owen LOVED going through the box of ornaments and looking at each one and asking TONS of questions about what it was, where it came from etc….and Syd helped him out! IMG_9233 IMG_9243

This was his favorite ornament…the little boy with the banjo…. :) IMG_9245

Told you…he LOVED it! IMG_9247

SO stinkin’ excited to put the star on the top!! IMG_9253

The final product…IMG_9255

The day we put up the tree, we decided to decorate cookies too!!! Gran got us lots of supplies, including frosting, food coloring, and TONS of sprinkles, plus some ‘Nilla Wafers…which worked out perfectly for the kids to decorate cookies on a smaller scale…IMG_9264 IMG_9266 IMG_9273

Licking off the frosting….she knows what she likes!! :) IMG_9279

These next two pics of Syd are soooo cute – she was just so excited about the tree the next day when she woke up…IMG_9302 IMG_9303

And these are just tooo precious not to share!IMG_9328 IMG_9329 IMG_9330

(yes, they are holding hands! ) the sweetness melts my heart! IMG_9332 IMG_9335

and then there was Santa….owen wasn’t too sure about it to begin with, but he did ok…here he is handing his car to santa – it was santa’s attempt to get Owen to come a little closer to him, but notice Owen wasn’t going to get even an inch closer than he needed to! IMG_9339 IMG_9340 Then he warmed up enough for a high five! IMG_9341 And knuckles (Santa blew it up…lol….) IMG_9342 And that was the extent of the santa pics…Syd was a little monkey with her knees CLAMPED to my side….oh well, Santa isn’t really what this time of year is about anyway!

Had to include this pic of Syd – this was after seeing santa…she wanted to ride on Papa’s shoulders and I put her mittens on her because it was pretty chilly outside….and she just holds her hands out like this once her mittens are on…all.the.time…..funny girl!
