Christmas Crafts
I love simple crafts. Here are a few that we did this season, except for the Christmas chain which I didn't get a picture of.

Christmas Decorations
I love seeing Christmas decor, so here's ours. I had to be a bit creative this year in finding places to put things.

Cozy Like a Mouse
If you read Max this book,
, he will want to get cozy like a mouse, all wrapped up in a blanket. And if you wrap Max up in a blanket, he will want to watch a "bideo". So you will put on this video: And chances are if you put on this "bideo", you will hear Max belly laugh

Fun With Friends
We had a small Christmas party so the boys could exchange Christmas gifts and learn the joy of giving and have a LOT of fun!
Making graham cracker houses
Watching a Curious George Christmas movie
Opening presents
Jumping on bubble wrap
A happy boy
Ryan's favorite toy at the Menzies
Playing together in the nook. So great

What About Olives?
I don't like olives so they haven't been around our house much. But I know that little kids' fingers must have olives on them, so we served them the other night.
And then there was this one-sided conversation:
Tony: Debbie, why don't you like olives? Jesus Christ ate olives. Aren't we all trying to be like Jesus? Isn't there a primary song about that? (even that logic will not get me to like olives)!

A Visit With Santa Claus and Cupcakes
Downtown Renton offers a visit with Santa Claus and they put your photos on facebook so you can have them for free (you had me at free), so we went on Friday night. It was so fun because Max was in awe but completely comfortable getting on Santa's lap and telling him that he wants an aircraft carrier (after seeing Helen's comment, I have to add that Santa asked him if he wanted the USS Enterprise or the USS Nimitz, ha ha. Max's namesake, his Great Grandpa Epperson served on the USS Salt Lake City so if he knew enough yet to choose, I'm sure he would choose that one. Too bad, he only wants a toy one.
Ryan predictably cried until I held him.
The Santa House
A very happy Max
A very unhappy Ryan
Now everything is right in the world
It was so much fun walking downtown and racing and seeing the Christmas lights as a family. We stopped by
Common Ground and had yummy Christmas cupcakes and peppermint hot chocolate. It was a darling little place.
I learned of a friend who made a "Santa book" for her daughter. She has a mini photo album that she keeps all of her Santa photos in. It sits out at Christmas time so they can take a trip down their Santa memory lane. I thought that was such a great idea!
