December Happenings


 As I'm sure it was for everyone else, our December was a little bit crazy, but full of lots of fun Christmas traditions.  We didn't quite get everything done on our list (like those darn Christmas cards or sledding), but it was a great Christmas season.

Here are our amazing gingerbread houses.  This year I made notes about which recipe was good, since I made the same mistake as last year... I must say that Dave and I could be professional gingerbread house thatchers, and Steven is an amazing brick layer.  Just check out his chimney.  The girls each did their own house and did a wonderful job!  Lots of work for mom, but so much fun. Eric and Elise both decided to take a nap during gingerbread house decorating.  What sweet little angels!

Eric thinks the world of his big sisters.

And a few pictures from Christmas morning.  I love having pictures, but I usually get too caught up in the events to take a lot.  Christmas was so much fun this year.  Eric LOVED opening presents.

I didn't take pictures, but we had fun sewing our own ornaments this year that were different symbols of the Savior.  We also had our little Christmas pageant and the big Rockwood pageant.  Elise got to be baby Jesus both times.
