Around Here.. Christmas Preparedness

Now that we are on Christmas break we are enjoying the holiday.. 
Christmas themed lunches and art projects.. below are the kids nutcrackers. 
 The boys are watching football bowl games... 
 playing with tree ornaments....
 and poking at presents.. The cat took the bows and ribbons off our gifts this year.. 
 The kids finished up their advent calendar today so Fieldin made one for next year. He found a box in the garage and made holes and decorated the top. The inside is filled with monster trucks and star wars characters. 
 Cutting off one of the last countdown Christmas chains. 

 resupplying cookies for Santa this morning. 
 Our yearly German Christmas eve lunch. We change it up some times. We always have hot German potato salad, sausage and sauerkraut. We were also lucky enough to have Mark's dads pear apple cider again this year.. the best in the world the kids say. 
Every time the doorbell rings the kids freeze and drop everything and sprint to the door. A doorbell these days means goodies from neighbors or a package.. it's win win.
