Christmas Preparations

There are always several steps that take place before Christmas actually comes. Here are some of the things that occurred at our house before the joyous holiday!#1. Putting up the Christmas decorations, specifically the tree.

Here's the kiddos hanging ornaments. I think only three were broken in the process. We also quickly realized we could only hang ornaments above Meggin's reach. We had a nicely decorated tree on the top!
# 2 Christmas Cookies

Niklas was able to decorate some of the Christmas cookies by himself this year. They were very handsome sugar cookie men.

#3 The Gingerbread House!

Yes it's a kit, I don't think i would survive anything else.

#4 Getting our hand slammed in the door.

#5 Playing in a huge box

Grandpa Dennis sent his packages in a very large box this year. It was the hit for an entire afternoon.

#6 Putting the presents under the tree.

This lasts the entire month of December...so fun.

#7 Helping Mommy with the dishes and the Swedish Christmas Eve dinner.

Meggin was a big help...she sat in the middle of the counter while I worked!

Now that we are prepared...time to visit with Santa!

Hope we were all good.
