The Holiday Season

The holiday traditions have become so much fun now that Maya is old enough to understand and partake.  Here she is in action.

Heading out to find the perfect tree.


 Enjoying the spiced cider with Daddy.


Helping to put up the ornaments.  She didn't quite understand what we were doing at first, but once she caught on she didn't want it to end.  After we ran out of non-breakable ornaments, she decided she would just take them off the tree and put them back on.  Endless fun!


We celebrated Christmas with the Knowles family a week early - here she is tearing into her first present.  


She loved the magnetic alphabet she received and kindly "forced" Uncle Preston to play with her for most of the afternoon!

Bennett discovered a much easier way to play with his new basketball hoop.


Cousins checking out Grandma and Granpa's Christmas tree.


The best we could get with the two of them!  Pictures of busy toddlers is not easy.


We held our annual cookie baking day with the Knowles girls.  It was a bit more chaotic with little ones, but also more fun.  The cute little redhead is Avery, a fried of Bennett's.


The kids decorated cookies, which Maya didn't quite understand at first.  She figured she should just eat them all.


But once she figured it out, there was no stopping her.


She became quite bossy in which decorations she wanted.


The final spread and the hard workers (we are just missing Grandma in the picture).
