I'm starting to really get excited for Christmas. Okay, I was already excited weeks ago. I even put some Christmast lights up. Last week I made this:
It didn't take much - just a cheap wreath from Wal-Mart, and some miniature ornaments. So festive!
Last Saturday we went to the Christmas tree lighting at Gateway. We're not sure why they lit the tree before Thanksgiving but I won't complain. We went with Grandma K and Justin's brother's family. They gave away cookies and hot cocoa while we listened to Jon Schmidt play the piano. Luckily we were prepared with hats and gloves even though it wasn't too terribly cold. The tree really is gorgeous! The surprise of the night was seeing Santa drive up in a carriage. Nolan was so happy! It also didn't hurt that we rode Trax to get there. He can't get enough of trains.
Today I made my favorite pumpkin cookies. So yummy and easy! Just a can of pumpkin (15 oz.) and a box of spice cake mix. Throw in some chocolate chips. Bake @ 350 for 10 to 12 minutes. Here are Nolan and his buddy Jaxon enjoying a beater.
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a happy turkey day. I wish you all a glorious nap that afternoon. I doubt I'll be so lucky!

I forgot to tell you how cute your wreath was today. Very festive, Kenz!
I love the pictures from the Gateway tree lighting night...the one of you hugging Justin and Nolan is so cute!
I love the picture of Jaxon and Nolan...you should be very proud of your pumpkin cookies, because Jaxon has been talking about your "yummy cookies" all day long, and just told John about them tonight when he got home.
A good nap? What's that? ;) Happy Turkey Day to you guys!
Wow....I love that wreath Kenz!!!! You are so crafty. Now I want to make one too! I really need to start to getting into the Christmas spirit like you. Why do I totally dread getting out my Christmas stuff?
