It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

I tried to mail myself to my sister at college… had to settle for cookies instead:

Last weekend we went to get the tree with the usual crowd (Brendan and the kids, Donal and Lindsey): 

Lindsey had to test each tree to find the perfect one:

I spent a ridiculous amount of time getting lights on just right:

Jenny did a fabulous job adding all the ornaments:

I made copious amounts of cookie dough and Leslie helped make them:

(Bonus points if you know why this makes me think of Betsy and chuckle):

And no baking day is complete without accessories (or a mousetrap to insure the dogs don’t steal anything):

There was an awesome Christmas party:

And some crafting at the Homestead:

Happy Advent!!
