Christmas in February

Ah, nothing like recapping your Christmas adventures in February - it's like experiencing it all over again!  So, here we go:

Our teeny tiny tree:

Our Christmas card picture that never made it to a Christmas card:

Lots of fun leading up to Christmas day, including making cookies. His mom was missing some parts of her cookie press, and so, being the genius engineers we were, we improvised:

Yes, that is an empty can of bean with bacon soup.

Needless to say, none of these cookies were made with the press:

Despite nothing being open on Christmas Eve, we still got to view some lovely lights:

This is the only non-blurry photo of the infamous "Candy Cane Lane" which we waited in line to see for about 1.5 hours. Not worth it.

Christmas morning is better with kids:

Or with new toys:

Other highlights of our trip include a visit to the Seattle Public Library (which is so cool - I'm planning a post for my book review blog, but I'll post a link when I get it up), serious vegging, playing wii and other video games, and multiple wrestling tournaments between Vince and his brother.

That's hilarious that you made your own cookie spritzer! Very inventive :)

Love you Moley, you always give me a good chuckle. Hey, isn't it still CHristmastime? We just took down the tree yesterday! LOVED the Bacon soup can idea.

You are way behind. Next blog post should be about New Years? ;) That cookie press was pretty funny. Kids really do make Christmas fun. What would Christmas be without their excited faces?

Love the cookie press and the "surprise" present video ;) And of course it's still Christmastime-I was listening to a Christmas CD a couple days ago in my car.
