The most wonderful time of the year...

We are enjoying our holiday season! We have read stories by the Christmas tree, we have watched the Grinch and Polar Express over and over again. We have been watching the Christmas shows on T.V. We have donated to charities, sung Christmas songs. We have kept up faithfully with the advent calendar, we have wrote our letters to Santa, we have done shopping and baking! (Gavin is addicted to fudge!). We have visited the elves at Gardner Village, we saw Santa vs. the snow man 3D (loved it! want to go again!), we drove through the lights at Thanksgiving Point, we have started our Gingerbread house (we are making that a 2 day project this year!) and we have dressed in our Christmas Church clothes! I love this time of year! I am going for the goal of no melt downs this year! I think I am on the right track! Merry Christmas!

Here we are decorating Gingerbread men




Letters to Santa
Gavin has been going to the potty all by himself here and there, so I bought him some underwear....the next time I saw him he had two pairs on his butt and one on his head!

No idea how you do it all! We did the gingerbread house last night. We've driven around the neighborhood looking at lights, and that is about it! Way to go!
