It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas

Well, we've given up on putting up the tree. Realistically, I don't have time and we'll be gone over Christmas anyway. I did get some decorations up though and here they are!

(Picasso seems to be sharing his napping place fairly well)

I've been baking dozens of cookies to give out and I found these cute little bags at the dollar store. I only wish I had bought more. 20 bags ran out in just a few minutes. (I've probably made about 30 dozen thus far and I have dough in the fridge for about 6 more dozen.)

My friend Christine made us this adorable advent calendar last year.
