~Santa~

Every year we take the kids to see the jolly ol' man himself. In fact we usually see two or three Santas! I've been blessed in the fact that I dont have very shy children, they love going and sitting on his lap and telling what they want for Christmas, of course it helps that they usually get candy afterwards! This last year Abby was especially funny, when we went and saw our third Santa, she actually said, "I already told you what I want for christmas, dont you remember!?" She's a smart one! I have a feeling she might learn the truth waaayyy to early. I wish I could keep them small forever~

Christmas in February!

I'm FINALLY getting around to posting our christmas pictures, better late than never right?

I thought it would be fun to make gingerbread (or in this case grahm cracker) houses with the kids. I thought it would be so easy to slap a little house together and then let the kids loose to decorate. Boy was I wrong! Matt and I each made a house, Matt thought his through and made a plan, he had interior walls, windows, and even roof trusses to make sure his house was structurally sound. Mine was the complete opposite! Never in my entire life did I think making a tiny house would be so frusterating! Next year I'm going to buy the kit where the house is already put together.
