Preparing for Christmas

Hi Blog!  After we came back from the beach, it was time to get ready for Christmas.  We brought a number of presents down with us.  Matt and Weina had their presents shipped.  Little William didn't know when he offered to help stack the boxes that he was actually stacking up all his presents.

Here he is in action.

After William went down for his nap, Santa's Elves got busy wrapping and rolling.  Dave is holding up William's new place mat.

 

On Christmas Eve, Jill and her son, Finn, came over to help make cookies for Santa Claus.  Here is William showing off his natural ability to decorate sugar cookies.

Kathy's Mom, who started a cookie baking tradition, would be very proud of our little baker.

When you are two years old, the hardest part of making cookies is waiting for them to be done.  William and Finn decided to pass the time by dancing to Christmas Carols and Nursery Rhymes.  Ring Around the Rosey anyone?

Finally, cookie time!  Here are Finn and Jill with William and Weina sampling the fruits of their labor.

Presents are wrapped and cookies baked.  Now all we have to do is wait for Santa to come.  Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!
