Getting ready for Christmas

This year has been a little hard for me to get in the mood. I just realized last night that Christmas is only one week away..yikes. We have our decorations up but it just doesn't feel like Christmas this year. I am trying my best to get it together though. Kyle had his Christmas concert the other night. The kids did very well but my Son did not seem to have any interest in singing with the group. He just kind of stood up there with a bored look on his face, leave it to Kyle. He knew all of the songs and had been practicing but just didn't do it, oh well it was still cute. We have visited with Santa which again Kyle doesn't have much interest in. Kyle said that he didn't even want to see Santa because it wasn't the real Santa. I made him take a picture with Santa though but he made it very clear he was NOT going to sit in "the guys" lap. We made gingerbread cookies the other night and made them into ornaments for the tree. We have the best smelling fake tree you will ever smell :). He had a lot of fun doing it. Kyle says that as soon as Christmas is over he is eating the tree...yuck. Kyle did make 2 cookies into doggie bones for our dogs which surprisingly the dogs loved them.
