Deckin' the Halls

For some reason Christmas was hard for me this year.  I don't know that hard is really the right word actually.....I just wasn't feelin' it.  I was kinda' bah humbug.  I don't know- it's never been my favorite holiday, but usually I'm more excited for it than I was this year.  Anyways, I think I hear someone playing a very small violin for me somewhere.. :P Here are a few pictures of the girls decorating the tree and cookies.

Bella has some goofy expression on her face in almost every single one of these pictures

notice all the cookies.....

notice how many of those cookies are gone.....

notice the fat gut hangin' out and the guilty expression on her face...
