Christmas cookies

The ball of dough by the train cookie was Paul's doing. He kept trying to put random dough pieces on the cookie sheet. He understands it's not the shape of the cookie--it's the taste that matters!

It's just as much fun under the table!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Okay, not really, but Jonathan's dad did decorate our bushes and trees with lights while he was here. It's a little hard to make out, but those who have visited us will get the general idea.

Our Christmas tree

Grandma and Grandpa came for a quick visit last weekend. They were able to see Benjamin in the children's Christmas program at church. We also exchanged gifts, and chose and decorated our Christmas tree.

Paul found a little corner, just his size. The boys really got into decorating the tree this year. Needless to say, we had several ornament-heavy branches.
