Holidays are right around the corner

Sydney and Mommy made cut-out cookies last week. We've since eaten (or given away) almost all of them. We'll count that first batch of cookies as PRACTICE. Obviously, we'll need to make more! Our set of Pampered Chef biscuit cutters worked the best so far!

Daddy assembled and fluffed our new Christmas tree. Grandpa Lowell offered for he and Sydney to put on the lights (since Mommy wasn't overly excited to tackle that project).

Sydney was a FANTASTIC "helper-outer"... he liked to help Papa plug in the next string of lights.

Sydney gets another string of lights out of the bag.

Sydney helped Mommy put the bead garland, icicle ornaments and snowflake ornaments on the tree. He also picked out "prime spots" for an Elmo ornament, Cookie Monster ornament and Winnie the Pooh ornament.

Papa Lowell and Sydney admire their handy work. They were a great team at putting lights on the tree. Grandpa also taught Sydney how to practice "look, but don't touch". (He was a great teacher at that!)

Sydney and Mommy hang icicle ornaments on the tree while Grandpa and Silas supervise.

Sydney picks out a special spot for Winnie the Pooh. (He also likes how Sydney's first Christmas ornament is next to Silas' first christmas ornament.)

Our new tree... a potted Porch Pine... will be PERFECT in the corner of our dining room this year!

Our stairway lighted garland and our new personalized stockings... Silas, Sydney, Sarah and Michael. Lovely!

Our first 'family of 4' portrait by our tree.
