The Days of Christmas


In the build-up to Christmas, we got to enjoy a few new holiday traditions. Now that Eamon is aware of the season, it was extra fun getting him excited for the big day--and all that it means (beyond Santa). He participated in decorating the tree, stringing the lights, and even wrapping presents (well, pulling off pieces of tape and sticking them random places). One night, we decorated sugar cookies with buttercream frosting I colored red and green (with DIY colored sugar, too). Eamon had a blast "painting" his cookies--and sampling the goods.

Mark also took E to see Santa Claus at the mall...unlike last year when he was scared to death of the big guy, he walked right up to him, sat on his lap, and announced he wanted a "concrete pouring truck" for Christmas. And, of course, Santa delivered!
