We have the tree up and our decorations out. But, of course, Payton wanted to put lights out in front of the house. And actually, Daddy was happy to oblige his little daughter. Saturday, they spent several hours together putting lights on our front porch and back deck. Ian tried to stay outside with his sister and Daddy, but he needed to come in more often to warm up. The weather was actually not too bad. It was in the 50s, but sunny. The lights are modestly done, but Payton's already asking for a manger scene for next year.
We've also been making Christmas cookies and candies. The kids love helping with cookies, each for their own reasons. Payton likes using the rolling pin, cutting out cookies, and putting sprinkles on them. Ian just likes to eat the dough and the sprinkles :) It's fun to pass on this tradition to my kids like my mom did to me.
