The Gingerbread Cook

We made an awesome gingerbread house the other night. Or rather, we watched Makayla do all the work, after we got it all put together. She stuck all the candies on, and maybe ate a few too...
I asked her what she was making, and she told me it was a gingerbread house. So I asked her who it's for, and she told me, it's for the "gingerbread cook." In a tone that basically said "duh mom..."
I about died, I was laughing so hard! She cracks me up. Where does she even get this stuff?



So proud of her finished project. And she loved that daddy made icicles. Mostly because she liked pulling them off and eating them..haha. Santa's reindeer were having issues. One of the Rudolph's was a little tipsy. Don't think he should be flying...hehe. And we might have broken Santa's leg...sorry Santa, please still come to our house!! :)


We took a bunch of family pics at my parents house the next night. This one is just adorable. Haylee holding Brooklyn. Super cute!


This one cracks me up. We were trying to get everyone to look, and it was just total chaos. I swear Makayla is not really biting Brooklyn, as it appears.....


And all of us finally all looking at the camera. And the TV. Glad we got that in there too...


I cannot w-a-i-t for Christmas. I am so excited to see the girls opening presents and seeing the excitement in their eyes! I finished all of my wrapping tonight, and am hiding all of Jason's gifts until late Christmas eve...he tends to find them, shake them, weigh them, etc. He is the WORST!! Or I guess I should maybe say the best....cause for the last 5 years has pretty much guessed every present before opening it. The stinker. So I am trying to be sneakier and clever-er this year. We'll see if it pays off.
