Christmas is Coming

At the beginning of the month I put up our Christmas tree because I had to have it up for the ornament exchange I hosted. The angel won't stand up straight, but I like her anyway. Also if I took a picture of the tree now there's a big bald spot in the front where Peter likes to take ornaments off the tree. 

These are all the ornaments from the exchange. I love handmade ornaments!

This is my ornament. It's a melted snowman!

Last week we really started to get into Christmas festivities. On Wednesday Peter's play group decorated cookies. He was much more interested in eating the mini M&M's than decorating the cookies. 

The cookie started out with more frosting and a bunch more M&M's.

Then on Saturday we went to the Train Museum with my friend Amanda and her family. Her boys were totally into it and Peter was done after 15 minutes of being there. It was actually really cool. It's a bunch of retired old men that bring their trains together to display for the public. The main reason Peter had issues was there was a no running, no touching rule which is really hard for him. 

This was the only picture that I got just before Peter was done. :)

Saturday was our ward Christmas party and Santa was there. :) The primary kids performed Jingle Bells on the kazoo and Peter managed to steal a kazoo he had it in his hand when he went to see Santa and quickly traded it for the candy cane. He wasn't too impressed with him but at least he didn't cry like last year. 

There were also some awesome musical performances that Peter really enjoyed. I got video of Peter dancing to the music. So a funny story, originally the cello was set up to the left of the piano, right in front of where we were sitting. I had to tell Peter not to touch it and thankfully he moved to up on the stage. I didn't start taking video until part way into the song so I missed some of his cute dancing.

I also put up the lights on our house. They pretty much look like last year, except with a bit of flair by the door.
