Get ready for an onslaught of holiday-themed posts. I’m getting ready to blow through our December photos, which include Christmas, Hanukkah and Henry’s birthday party. Hope you’re not sick of the holidays yet!

These photos are from the “Christmas Festival” the city of Rancho Santa Margarita held this year. The kids were able to entertain themselves with some cookie decorating, a few craft projects, face painting and other standard festival fare.

Emma and Henry, as you can see, really got into the cookie decorating. We decided to let Henry have at it all by himself. The result was a wonderful icing mustache along with a mountain of sprinkles… with a tiny little cookie somewhere underneath. (Emma didn’t let a sprinkle go to waste, of course.)

After making some paper snowflakes with The Engles and getting our face painted we called it a night. A good time was had by all.
