It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Lately our days have been filled with all kinds of Christmas preparation. The boys are at such a fun age for all things holiday!

Miles and Jack helped me fill our Advent tree drawers with a fun, but simple, activity for each day in December. So far, we've enjoyed decorating our tree, baking cookies, watching a holiday movie, making a Christmas countdown chain, etc.  They had a lot of good ideas.

 The boys like to take turns first thing each morning opening today's drawer to find out what our activity will be.

 A typical scene in the Hamilton house: building Legos in front of the fireplace, with a Superman cape of course.

 Baking cookies together

 We made peanut blossoms. Jack rolled the dough into balls...

 and Miles rolled them in sugar. They are a good team (most of the time!)

 This elf has been up to all kinds of silly tricks. Gymnastics on the tinker toys is just the beginning!
