Christmas Fun!

Here is round two of Christmas decorations and fun.....

 We attempted a photo shoot of Christmas pics for our Christmas card.  This was about the best we got.  Houston, you were not having a cooperative day, but we'll give you a pass this time!

I thought this was so sweet even though you can't tell that it's our children!

We ended up going with a family shot from the beach.  We also cut back on the number of cards we usually send.  If you didn't get one from us don't think we don't love you!

This is our artificial tree.

Last week I signed our family up to take a gingerbread house class.  Sounds dorky but it was so much fun!  Here is a before pic.

Construction phase...

I really didn't think there would be enough icing and candy to make a house with the amounts that the girls were eating....it was way too much temptation for them....

Our "yard" display included a snowman, Christmas tree, and a gingerbread family of 5!

This scary creature is a gingerbread man the girls decorated while we were letting our icing dry.

This is our neighbor's yard.  Did I mention there is no need for us to try to be creative with our outdoor decorations?  You really get the full experience at night.  A spotlight on each individual character.  The kids could not love it more.  Houston waves at Dora each morning as we take the girls to school.
