This holiday season has been a little hectic with the addition of Brooks to our family. But we have been trying to get into the Christmas spirit as much as possible. On the day of the craft fair (back in mid-November), Jon and Kylie spent the whole day together. He met up with some of the other ortho dads and their daughters at the mall to visit Santa. Kylie did a great job, and continues to talk about Santa on a daily basis! We also stopped by the Festival of Trees on the day after Thanksgiving (a few days before Brooks was born) to admire the beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Our favorite was the Snowman (or "no-nan" in Kylie-speak) tree. Because of the chaos of our everyday lives right now, we did minimal decorating in our house. We did, however, set up our little artificial tree. Kylie loves to look at it and talk about the different ornaments that are on it. Lastly, we recently got together with some of our friends for a Christmas cookie exchange. The kids played and decorated cookies, while the mamas chatted. I think we left with about 60 cookies of 12 different varieties. It's been a wonderful season with A LOT to be thankful for!

This is the tree that MFC decorated, "A Cookie Christmas."

She was wearing the Santa hat, but took it off as I took the picture.
Kylie decorated a snowman cookie at the cookie exchange.
Of course, she ate her cookie (and several more) immediately!
She loves her sweets! :)
