It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This past Friday was our 2nd annual Christmas Cookie Baking Day at my parents house. We started baking at 9 am and we finished around 4 pm (not including clean-up!). We baked 74 dozen cookies/cake balls/truffles/cheesecake bites and we made 6 gallons of Chex Mix. We made Sugar cookies, Snickerdoodles, Gingersnaps, Chocolate cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Spritz cookies, Thumprints, Red cake balls, Oreo truffles, and Mini Cheesecakes. Here are all of the bakers:

And here are the fruits, er, cookies of our labor. Bad pun, I know.

Today Aaron and I headed back to Iowa City, and we put up our Christmas tree. I was very excited to get it put together and decorated, as this is our first year that we've had a Christmas tree! I am very happy with how it turned out, so we had a little photo op. I'm planning on decorating the rest of the house tomorrow if I have time, so check back for more pictures!

Last year Hilary sent me this ornament of a pregnant woman and a man since we were expecting Wyatt in June of this year. I'm excited I got to put it on the tree this year!

I bought this ornament this year for Wyatt's first Christmas. I thought it was fitting as it completes the story - a "pregnant" ornament and a "baby ornament!"

Here are some great pictures of our sweet little boy. He is really changing so much and getting quite the personality!

Aaron calls this picture Wyatt's "Blue Steel" look. Very model-esque. :)

And I love this picture - I figured out how to get him to smile for the camera while I was holding him. What a cutie!
