The weekend after thanksgiving we got to spend some time getting ready for Christmas and Skylar even got to spend part of the weekend with us as her mom worked and her dad and brother were in Chicago for the Vikes game. We picked out a Christmas tree (and Ryan subsequently tried to saw his own hand off, though sad for him, it made the kids incredibly scared of the tree - they thought the tree might have the same effects on their precious little sticky fingers. Lose-win perhaps?!)
We also made yummy cookies. Well mostly Skylar did with help from Teague and even less "help" from Lola. I think I ate all of the frosted cookies in about 2 days.
Teague really understands his Avent calendar this year. We buy them from a student in German at school. It's their fundraiser for their German trip in the summer. This year Ryan bought 3...one year too early, we only need 2 this year! Well in years past Teague just wants to eat all of the chocolates at once. Most years I just give up on the fight and let him eat them all in one sitting when I realize he had no idea what this concept was. This year he gets it and loves the idea. Lola....yep ate all of her's last week...and wants the rest of Teague's.
We love this time of the year!
