Gingerbread House, Part 2

Do you remember last years attempt to build a Gingerbread House with the kids? One word, disaster. Well we made another attempt this year, it was only slightly better.

She did WAY better and placed the candy ON the house.


He tried to help,


Not too bad for a 2 year old. LOL

She was concentrating so hard 

And he ate the candy.

Round 3 will happen next year.
Maybe we can complete it without eating all the pieces.
I doubt it, thats half the fun.

Christmas Presents

My kids are spoiled.  Seriously, they are spoiled and I believe they have no clue.  You want proof?  Take a look at the load of stuff they received this Christmas.














And for Round 2,




Oh the aftermath,
Spoiled, yes.
Happy, defiantly.

Bribing Santa

Have you ever seen those houses at Christmas time that go all out?  I mean all out.  We have all seen them but have you ever seen one with a train in the front yard and they let people ride it IN THEIR FRONT YARD? Neither have I.  That is until this year.

My mom heard from a friend about this house.  Isnt that how we all get our information, from a friend of a friend who heard from their brothers cousin, or something like that?  Anyway, we found it and sure enough, we rode a train in this person's front yard.

The kids didnt know exactly what was going but they went with it.


Arms up!! 

 Ok mom Im done, arms down.

Just kidding, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


She wouldnt hold on, so Cari held onto her

She held her arms up until we can to a stop 

She had her arms up the whole time and he yelled whooooooooa-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee until we stopped.  I hope they do this on roller coasters one day.

After the ride, we took a ride to see Santa.

She knows the truth, so she tried to bribe Santa,

And he accepted. 

 Cole would not get close to him,

And this is as close as she would get.

They did tell him what they wanted, a baby and a car.
He listened.
Not that it matters, he was paid off.

Christmas Lights

While we were at the Christmas Village, the lines were super long.  There was no way we were going to wait in line for an hour to walk through a 8X8 house with 3 2 year olds.  Not happening.  Luckily, there was a band playing and they had lights set up.  The kids went crazy.

After this first picture, I figured out that if I turn off the flash, the picture is much better.






She wanted to ride the deer but decided to crawl under him instead 


She heard the music and started to spin 

 And spin

Mom, is this hot? 


I love that they love the little things.  Christmas lights have always made me smile and Im so glad they do the same for them.
