The Skurski house is in full holiday swing.

 

Our little light helper.

Mostly just wanting to climb the big ladder.

Gingerbread house creating.

There was lots of candy consumption but

also lots of concentration to decorate to candy-perfection.

 

Santa visit.

Carmen writing her name on the 'nice' list.

 

 

It was amazing Max even came near Santa. 

For over a month he's been insisting Santa is a 'bad man'

and doesn't want anything from him, only something from the store.

Thank goodness he decided to keep quiet and smile.

Carmen was great this time. No pouting.  Just smiles.

She shyly told Santa her special request for this year is a whistle.

Whistle?  Yes, just a plain 'ol whistle is on the top of her wish list.

I think Santa will deliver.

Giant Nutcracker

Giant wreath

Next up, reindeer and camel feeding.

Blitzen the reindeer and Curley the camel were a big hit.

  

 

So was the sleigh, electric train and an unexpected St. Nick sighting.

 

 

Then, Snowflake Lane.

Drummers, dancers, music and falling snow--

what could be better?

 

 

Just a few things holiday things checked off so far.

There are many more to go!
