Holiday preparations.

 1. Wonderful time re-uniting with a few old friends + our kids.

2. Andrew made us a wreath for the mantle, isn't it pretty?

3. Andrew turned 28, we went out for a birthday lunch & I quickly fell sick after lunch with a 5 day stomach bug... HORRIBLE.

4. Snow day Christmas cookie making with my Mom.

5-6. Penny eats her first Christmas cookie!

7. Pre-icing finished product.

8. Penny's first real snow! 

oh christmas tree.

Palmer's Tree farm has the coolest round barn to house their pre-cut trees! Their farm is gorgeous and it is easy to get a picturesque tree and family photo there. We had fun with my parents getting a few trees, and Penny seemed intrigued by the whole thing... It is so neat how everything we do is a completely new experience for her.
