Decorating Christmas Trees, Cookies and Gingerbread Houses

The boys like decorating cookies and gingerbread houses for Christmas, likely because f the chance to eat candy.  It's a fact more candy gets eaten than used for decorating.  This year Grandma and Grandpa were in town to help us decorate our tree.

Jingles was back this year for more fun and tricks!
