Its Christmas time!

The first weekend in December it was time for the Murphys to get ready for the holidays.  First up was baking cookies.  We made the cookies with love (which is what Ryan says when you make them from scratch).  Braydon was a lot of help measuring out ingredients and helping my mix everything together. 

After that, we rolled out the cookies and braydon figured out how to use the cookie cutters.  I wasn't having the best of luck rolling them out, so Braydon ended up with flour all over himself.

After cutting the cookies out, it was time to put them in the oven.  Braydon has never seem me using the oven before, so he was pretty excited to have his oven mitts on and wait for the cookies.

Patiently waiting for them to get done.

After cooking, it was time to try a cookie...

He then got to use the sprinkles.  He was really good at using the sprinkles.

He really liked the cookies.  Everytime we opened the fridge and asked if he could have a cookie.  He had to limit him to only one a day!

Next up on the list was getting a Christmas tree.  We got bundled up and headed to the tree farm.  

We found it!!

 Braydon helped get the tree stand put together.

Braydon needed a break and had to stop and eat a peanut butter sandwich

Braydon loved unraveling the twine that came around the tree.  He spent about an hour putting it back on the tree and taking it off.

The tree is up! 

Every day Braydon gets up, he asks if he can turn the tree on.  Then when it is time to leave, we turn the lights off and say goodbye to the tree!
