More Christmas Fun...





We have had such a wonderful Christmas vacation.  I absolutely love having the kids home!  We kept busy baking, reading, playing the Wii and playing outside.  We decorated our annual gingerbread house and even went bowling!  The girls are really enjoying helping out in the kitchen now.  They were all excited to help Phil's mom make peanut butter fudge.  Allie received a cookbook for Christmas and we had to try the milkshakes right away!  So yummy!  Nathan discovered Phil's backpack in the shed and went on several "treks" - to Denver and South America.  It's amazing where your imagination can take you!  Every night, we unpacked the backpack and were always surprised at what he packed.  He'd remember pajamas, snacks, a lunch, and even summer clothes for the warm weather in South America!  So cute!  We celebrated a late Christmas with my family and spent some time with my grandma.  We also saw "The Princess and the Frog" with my parents.  I'm so thankful for the special moments we've shared and the precious memories we have made!

We want to see that Princess and the Frog movie too! We keep hearing how great it is. Maybe a date with Ella, her first movie in a theatre?

And wow! Your gingerbread house looks BETTER than the one on the cover of the kit!!!
