Holiday Spirit!

It's that time of year again for all the holiday traditions that I mostly do for my kids.  This year, I tried to simplify by getting them done early!

Pulling out the good ole' Ikea Christmas tree.  I really dislike this tree.  We bought it because it was cheap and we thought we would only be in Switzerland one Christmas.  We're still using it -- 6 Christmases later.



Natasha really got into the tree trimming!

The annual Gingerbread house ooey-gooey mess.  This year, it became a gummy bear house.

Note the chocolate on Natasha's face.  I think she ate more than she decorated. 

Visiting Santa Claus.  My kids are all doubters and I don't particularly promote it.  "Mom, why do all Santa Clauses have such fake beards?"

Mariah just thinks it's fun to chat.

 "Hmmm.  What do I want?  A dinosaur!"

The annual neighborhood Christmas cookie decorating party.
