Holiday Preparation

We've had holiday decorations unpacked,



and outstretched arms.



Balancing acts on chairs,



and delicate ornament placement.



We've had fun with photos,



and tree admiration.



Cookie-baking,


(don't be too impressed... it was the pre-made cookie dough, and the pre-portioned cookie dough at that)

and book-reading.



We've had obsessions with Scotch tape,


(you know wrapping presents is much easier with the end of your tongue sticking out a bit.)







and name-writing practice.



Tree decorating,






and belly-laughs at Mom singing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."



We've had successful lessons in teamwork,



and not-so-successful lessons in even distribution.



Moments of feeling a sense of accomplishment,



and moments of feeling togetherness and love.



We've had playdates with friends,



and sticky glue-covered fingers.



We're as ready as we'll ever be for Christmas!

Hope everyone has a great holiday with family and friends!
