After a sunny warm vacation, it was really weird to return home and jump into the Christmas season. We didn't have much time to go on our regular tree hunt in the forest, so we hurried off to Home Depot for a tree. It only took a half an hour from start to finish, so we definitely saved time. However, it seemed very strange! We had a shortcut in the cookie department also. A box with cookie mix and cutters and frosting and sprinkles, made my job alot easier. This was the first year that Sawyer was more helpful than more work. We also had our little cookie tester:) We also did a gingerbread village, but due to our winter ant infestation, we got rid of it quickly!
