Gingerbread Houses
At the beginning of December, we got together with the Jones' and decorated Gingerbread Houses. We took the easy way out and purchased a kit with the gingerbread part already done. The Jones' were ambitious and did it out of graham crackers. They all turned out really cute and the kids LOVED eating the candy! We have ours on our kitchen counter and it smells so yummy!
Putting up the Christmas Tree
We put our Christmas tree up a couple weekends ago. Having the tree up makes it feel more like Christmas so I hope we can get it up earlier next year. It's so pretty and fun- I love having the lights in the house off and just the tree lights on. Addie loved decorating the tree. I'd give her an ornament, she'd say Thank You! and go hang it on the tree. Most of them ended up in the bottom corner but it's so cute. There will be no presents under our tree until Christmas Eve/Christmas Morning because Addie would just open them all!
Other Fun Things!
Addie loves to sing songs...so we've been teaching her a few Christmas songs. So far, she knows the majority of the words to Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. It's so cute to hear her little voice singing! We'll have to try and get it on video so we can post it!
She made this cute little tree at playgroup a week ago! Such a fun idea and the kissables made perfect ornaments!
We're hoping to still fit in a few more things before Christmas arrives!
We hope you all are enjoying the Christmas season!

That is a pretty good looking gingerbread house! We went to a cookie decorating party last week and Elise ended up with frosting all over her shirt (she was reaching for some m&ms and her frosted cookie happened to be underneath her and stuck to her shirt) and she ate more candy then what ended up on her cookie. So, we'll probably wait until next year to try gingerbread houses!
Super cute stuff, and I loved your Christmas card!!!!
