This is our second Christmas in Oregon, but our first in this house, so we really enjoyed decorating it for the first time. We’ve discovered that the surrounding neighborhoods tend to go all-out (Griswald style!), so we like to drive the girls around to look at all the “pretty lights”. Last week I made sugar cookies and let the girls decorate them. Of course, they were more interested in eating them, so I had to finish them up myself, lest the girls end up with sugar shock.
We decided to put up our little two-foot artificial tree again this year, and the girls enjoy decorating it with the little ornaments from an advent calendar that Aunt Laura sent them. We lost the baby Jesus from our nativity set in the move, but its breakable ceramic, so I wouldn’t be putting it out this year anyway. Maybe next year we’ll get a plastic “Little People” set that the girls can play with, that we don’t have to worry about.
