Let the holidays begin...

My little baker and cookie decorator!

This year I really wanted all the family to help decorate for the holidays....but as always I idealize more than reality can handle!  We had fun starting to decorate the tree, but I ended up finishing as the boys got distracted by other things like strands of extra Christmas lights and playing with Daddy.

The holidays are always a bit more stressful for me but this year I planned on trying to keep it all in perspective (especially with Kevin planning to be out of town a bunch) and spend tons of time with boys, creating wonderful memories.  Most of all, I want our boys to have little favorite memories, like baking cookies with Momma, just because they asked to.
