Preparing for the holidays...

We put up our tree while Larkyn was napping one afternoon. When she woke up we brought her down to look at it with us. She just stared at it for a couple minutes...
"Woah baby! What is this thing?"

"Hmm...this looks interesting. What does it feel like?"

It only took a few days and Larkyn was into the ornaments. She loved the shiny ones the best and of course they went straight to her mouth! We had to "re-decorate" after a while and our tree no longer had a lower level of ornaments.
Here are some of our attempts at getting photos for our Christmas card! We were going for the JOY theme, so she is holding a candy cane upside down for the "J".
After many attempts, this picture won out!
We didn't have a wreath small enough for her to hold, and we know how much she loves ornaments, so this was our attempt at the "O" photo!


This was the only photo that the ornament wasn't completely in her mouth!
The "Y" was quite tricky. Here are only a couple, but she was all over the place!


We finally had to bring Larkyn's learning table in the photo to get her to stay in one spot!

One family tradition we have started is making Christmas cut-out cookies together. Larkyn even got in on the fun this year! The little stinker was sneaking cookie dough to her mouth. She for sure got a pinch or two to eat. Must have a sweet tooth like her mama!

What a great helper Larkyn was cutting out the cookies!
Frosting? That was a different story! It was all over!
And it tasted good too!
