Pre Christmas Festivities

Bella loves to sit up on the counter while I'm working on something in the kitchen. We were making some gingerbread cookie dough this day.

Making cookies...flour everywhere!
Sampling cookies- the best part!
Sugar induced super smile from Bella as she decorates the gingerbread house.

We hurried to get to church early every Sunday in December to see the lighting of the Advent wreath. This Sunday was also the day that Bella got to go see The Nutcracker with Daddy and Grandma. she loved it and was dancing right along with the Nutcracker dancers!
Getting our Christmas tree...


Decorating the Christmas tree... Lucy quickly grew tired of decorating the tree, and just wanted to sing along to "My Two Front Teeth" song. We have heard A LOT of that song this year.

Bella has gotten to put the star on top the last couple of years, but soon Lucy will realize she needs a turn too. Hmmm, maybe we'll have 2 stars on top?

Dancing with Daddy. Oh what fun!
