Wow that looks really warm and homely and fun. Your kids are soooo super cute, I always love your photos. Have a great Christmas - looks like Alrik is enjoying his first one already!

Looks like the holiday is in full swing :-) We have the same Fisher Price nativity set. Baby received it as a gift last Christmas and I let him play with it for the first time in early November. He is now obsessed with it. He calls the Mary - Mama and the Joseph - Dada, and he sleeps with all of the little figures at night.

Licking the spoon or such was always my favorite! Mmmm those cookies look amazing.

Aw, so precious! I love the picture of them hugging. *sigh*

I swear I can feel the warmth and smell the pine from those pictures! I don't know why it doesn't feel that Christmassy around here! (We have a tree and decorations... maybe because it's 70 degrees, I don't know). I'll have to live vicariously through you!

Adorable kids!

Such warm and cozy pictures! I love how Alrik is either trying to or getting everything to his mouth. So sweet.

@Melissa: I noticed that trend, too! Isn't it hilarious? He's got one bottom tooth just the other side of popping out.

@Tmuffin.com: I'll live the 70-degree weather vicariously through you, then! :)

@I Thought I Knew Mama: Mikko loved "Mary Mama" and Joseph last year, too — so much so that they're missing from the set, as you might be able to see. :) I put a Wise Man and Shepherd in their place for now…

@Good Girl Gone Green: Those cookies are so good! I should have Sam post the recipe he used.

Visiting from Natural Parents Network!

The artsy photo of the red ornaments is my favorite! Gorgeous!

And is it just me, or is Mikko just looking like such a big kid these days?? They grow up so fast!

Wow! What stunning pictures! And is that a Happyland nativity set? Very cute. Looks like a perfect Christmas!
