Most Wonderful time of the year

Christmas and Devember seemed to creep right up on us. Before I knew it there was so much to do. Luckily grandma had an idea for to make cards for all of Lil J's classmates. 

The cards they made. All her little friends loved them. We got so many compliments on them. It's nice having a creative grandma who also is a retired teacher. She knows all the tricks of the trade. 

Grandma also bought a little lot to build a gingerbread house. They started it and then we brought it home and finished it. Lil J did a nice job at designing and decorating. 

We baked some gingerbread as gifts for teachers, coworkers, and friends. 

We went to see the Christmas lights in Alta Loma. Dani came along with us for the ride which was a ton of fun. This year, Lil J really enjoyed them. 

Lil J saw a Nativity scene at one house and said, "hey look it's a Jesus set-up."  :/ she has her own little set-up as she calls it and even princesses (on far right) come to see baby Jesus. 

Decorating cookies with Lola. 

Looks like she had more frosting in her tummy than on the cookies. 

We love getting ready for Christmas. It is much fun. Even with all the busy stuff surrounding this time of the year it is so much fun to see it all through the eyes of a child. It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Exhausting but wonderful.
