It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Thanks to Bob's pushing the Christmas spirit has finally arrived at the Gregg household. The tree is up and the decorations are out. Mother Nature provided us with a good sprinkling of snow, and some early treats arrived from our family in New York. It is going to be a very good couple of weeks!

Aunt Laura usually sends some pretty cool crafts our way, and this year was no different. The girls loved putting together a foam gingerbread house. 

You don't see Lily on the couch, right? Bob doesn't allow the dog on the couch so we are going to pretend that she is a figment of our imagination...

All that was left was adding some finishing touches!

A package came from Aunt Laura and Aunt Jessica today, and in it were these two dish towels. I instantly loved them. Sarah loved them too. 

My kids wait for these cookies all year. This picture was taken after the box had already been dug through. Some of the cookies have already been devoured. 

Aunt Betty sent a tree for each of the kids to have in their rooms. This year, since the boys and girls are sharing bedrooms,  I  took the liberty to use the two extra trees in the other rooms of our home to make them seem a bit more Christmasy.

The boys were invited to go sled riding with a friend. First sled riding of the year. Good thing we bought gloves and boots this morning!
