Signs of the Season

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Sanders' house.  The Christmas tree has been assembled, lit, and decorated.  As is our tradition, the kids added new ornaments from various places that we visited during the year.  The new pieces this year come from Cape May NJ, Stone Mountain GA, New Orleans, and Sesame Place.  

 

The kids have also created numerous holiday crafts- including these gingerbread houses that they made with their friends.  

And of course, with December comes the return of our elf Pickles.  Pickles has been quite the character this year.  One morning he was even picking a fight with Owen's Darth Vader doll.  Use the force, Pickles, use the force.
