More Decorating

Hi Granny!  Remember how I told you about decorating Christmas cookies with Aunt Liz yesterday?  Just in case you forgot, here's another picture.


Well, I didn't just decorate cookies yesterday.  I also decorated a tree!  Can you imagine that?  Decorating a tree?!  Well, I did.  In case you've never done it, I thought I would walk you through the process.  First, you pick out an ornament.


You have to make sure it's just right.


And double check, just to be sure.


Then you approach the tree.  You have to be very careful.  I know that because my Mom kept saying "be careful" over and over and over.  Ornaments, as I've learned, are very breakable.


Next, you hand it to Aunt Liz.


Then you show her exactly where you want it.


You have to be very specific and watch carefully to make sure she puts it in the right place.


If you aren't happy with the placement, you can always ask her to pick you up and direct her that way.


I love you, Granny!

Decorating Cookies

Hi Granny!  Today I went to visit Aunt Liz and Uncle Ryan.  Aunt Liz baked some cookies, made frosting and had sprinkles so I could do some decorating.


Decorating was fun, but I preferred to eat the frosting.


It was delicious.


Really, really delicious.


I love you, Granny!

Advent Calendar

Hi Granny!  Today is the first day of December, which means that it's time for my advent calendar.  My Mom and I got a kit and made it ourselves.


Well, to be honest, we really just put the felt stickers on.


It looks pretty good, right?


 If that wasn't exciting enough, it turns out there was a treat hidden in it for me!  And I get one every single day until Christmas!


My treat was a bag of fruit snacks.  I shared with my Dad.


I love you, Granny!
