Christmas Bits.

We have been busy crossing things off our Christmas to-do list.
1. Make a gingerbread house.

{The best part is making frosting mustaches!}
2. See Santa.

{Camryn is finally big enough to climb on the carousel without help!}

{Jacob is almost too big for the carousel!}

{And Mason looks like he is being attacked by something on the carousel.}

{The kids told Santa what they wanted. Mason wants catcher’s gear, Camryn wants 10 American Girl dolls, and Jacob said he would like coal.}
3. Attend a classroom Christmas party.

{I helped out in Mason’s classroom, and they had a blast making slime, crafting Christmas trees, and playing several minute-to-win-it games like this one where they had to scoop "snowballs" without using their hands.}

4. Make cookies.

{And this year we had an extra set of hands to help us decorate some very beautiful, and certainly not sanitary, sugar cookies!}

5. Wrap Christmas presents.

{Check out this beauty wrapped by Mason. He called it the WPWE, or worst present wrapping ever. I’m not sure if he used more paper or more tape in the wrapping process...}

6. Attend the Chriskindle Market.

{My mom and I spent a very warm-for-the-season day outside browsing German crafts before we found this ornament in the Kathe Wohlfahrt booth. Mason got a kick out of the name, and I had him briefly convinced that this ornament is made out of ice.}

We are officially Christmas ready!
