Making Gingerbread Houses

Making gingerbread houses in one of my favorite holiday projects because it gets you into the spirit Christmas so quickly! Auntie Jane came over to help us make our houses one morning and we decorated till there was no candy left!

We all enjoyed ourselves!

Mr. Personality was having a ball "building" a house!

Miss Princess was more interested in eating the house!

Every "Christmas light" was put on with some thought

Minnesota has hardly seen snow this winter. On this particular day the kids saw a dusting and wanted to play in it, so they did!

All bundled up for a total playtime of 10 minutes. (Smile)

This is what we did while the older kids played, smiled at each other! My rosy-cheeked son is growing up and becoming more and more interactive each day.

Hello world.

Trimming the Tree

Decorating our tree this year was extra special because it was our first tree in our first home! Cozy and warm are we. We love it here and feel especially blessed this time of year.

My laughing beauty found a pretty fun hiding spot

It doesn't take much to get her to smile!

Playing pee-a-boo!
