Kicking Off Christmas

We are kicking off the holiday season and embracing Joe's recent freedom from school (today)! Madison, Hayes, and I decorated the Christmas tree, and Hayes has only destroyed two ornaments since it has been up!

Last night we went to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for Holiday D'Light. The gardens were covered with twinkle lights formed into trees, animals, plants, flowers, and insects. It was pretty incredible. We had fun walking around and taking in the lights.

This afternoon we decorated some Christmas cookies. I have done some cooking decorating with the kids before so I knew what to expect (or not to expect) but this was a first for Joe. I think he was stressed at first, but got into it. Madison loved putting a lot frosting on the cookies, and Hayes preferred very little frosting, but heavy on the sprinkles.

More adventures to come as we enjoy a full week of vacation time!
