Holiday Preparations

We get pretty excited when a holiday is coming, and of course December is full of celebration.

Warren was pretty excited to feed himself a banana for the first time.

Of course we had to drive into the mountains (Idaho City) to find a Christmas tree. Lugging a baby up a steep hill is no easy feat!

Nor is it easy keeping these two in one piece going in and out of the trees.

But we found a good one this year! Barry makes a pretty good looking lumberjack.

This was our advent calendar this year. We would take turns each day poking a hole in the paper and pulling out a treat and a scripture.

The kids begged to make gingerbread men cookies!

Someone gave us a bag of cranberries at bountiful baskets and so we strung some for our tree. It takes a great deal of concentration.

Warren was just hoping to eat some of the decorations.
