Let the Holidays Begin

Are you getting ready for this week?  This IS the week where it all officially begins...decorating, shopping, food, family time, and all the hustle and bustle.  I have already been to the grocery twice over the weekend and can guarantee that another trip will be made before the week is over.  And before you ask, yes, I did make a list. :) 

We happen to be looking forward to this year's holidays even more than usual.  Jude is getting to the age where he is going to be able participate in a lot of the festivities.  He already gets pointing-finger-and-oohing-excited when he sees Christmas trees in stores.  So yes, the best holiday times are ahead for our little family.

We began the festivities this past weekend by making gingerbread cookies and letting Jude "decorate" his own.  He wasn't successful in getting a lot of sprinkles on his cookie; however, he managed to get a considerable amount on the floor. ;)

Loving Meijer's letter cookie cutters, right now!!!
