It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Stella is really into Christmas this year...way more than she has ever been.   And she is having a lot of fun doing all of the Xmas related activities.  We went and got our tree on Thursday night, but by the time we got home, made and ate dinner, and took baths, it was bedtime.  So all Stella got to do that night was help Dada string the lights on the tree and she and Gup each got to put one ornament on the tree.  The next morning after breakfast, Stella, Des, and I decorated the tree while Dada was at work...Stella just could not wait any longer.

Then on Sunday, we made Xmas cookies from scratch.  The kids had so much fun cutting out the various shapes and helping decorate it.
But what they liked best was eating them.  They were very yummy cookies!!!  I guess when the recipe calls for 3 sticks of butter, you really can't go wrong =;)
Stella and Desmond also loved watching Dada climb up onto the roof of our house to string Xmas lights the weekend before.  They love seeing our house as well as all of the other houses in our neighborhood lit up with Xmas lights at nighttime.  It is so cute to behold the magic and awe of this holiday season through their innocent eyes!
