Christmas cookies

Caden helping me make Christmas cookies!  He loved helping dump all the ingredients in and wanted to do everything himself. 

Trying our final product!

Grandpas visit

Dad and grandpa John spent the night on their way through town from a visit to our family dentist Brent!  Caden LOVED that they stayed.  He came up to me (a week later) and we wondering "where's grandpa?"  So sweet!

Putting up the tree

This is the first time we have had a real tree!

Caden putting on the first ornament

He loved helping us decorate.  So far we have only had 2 broken balls and a ton of needles on the floor!
