The kids had a blast decorating for Christmas, of course, as soon as we got back home!! They've got a countdown going as always and talk of nothing else. We decided we're going to start having them take turns every year for who gets to put the star on top of the tree -- (Brielle did it last year) -- so Samuel was quite excited to have his turn this year! :) As always, our tree gets to be in the playpen to keep out little hands as much as possible... :)

We decided to try making a Christmas tree cake for our Family Home Evening refreshments yesterday just for fun... I love how the smallest things can cause such excitement!! (Even when the finished product isn't exactly how you pictured)... :) Such a fun time of year!
