It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas…

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Jensen household! And, we don't even need any snow.

We've got two holiday elves…

Ready for some festive mischief... 

 We weren't touching, promise!

Stocking thief… to be fair,

isn't this what stockings are REALY for.

Watch out for the Grinch!

The kids are enjoying the decorations, holiday music, nativities and all the fun Christmas activities on the schedule. Our attempt to make salt dough ornaments was a bit of a bust. But, the sugar cookies this weekend turned out great. And, Adelaide was able to give us all a master class in the art of the sugar cookie.

Frost your cookie and pour on the sprinkles. 

Seriously, pour on those sprinkles! 

If it's not a two inch tall pile, you aren't doing it right... 

After picking as many sprinkles off as 

she could with her fingers, Eleanor licked 

them off. It took us a while to convince 

her the cookie was worth biting 

too, but she came around. 

We made more of these than we probably want to,

or at least, SHOULD eat.

Even the mashed potatoes got in on the festivities!

The weather is so nice, we wish we'd been able to take advantage of more of the activities around the area. But, we're not quite unburied and reoriented from our move yet. Next week we're hoping to break out of our neighborhood and dive into the local festivities a bit more.
