Christmas time

Our little Christmas tree
Emma loves to hold to remote control, I think it helps her feel in control which she likes to be:)
We put up the Christmas tree last week, it was a little challening because Abby and Emma were so eager to help get out all the Christmas ornaments and you know, play with them like they were new found treasures. Emma found the candy canes and got all sticky, Abby liked to pop the bubble wrap that that the fragile stuff was wrapped in. They both love the nativity scene. Luckily nothing was broken that day, since then we've had a few "accidents." They love the train but it is now just scattered about too. If we didn't remember what Christmas was really about we might not even bother. But the tree, the lights and stockings hung help us get into the Christmas spirit.

So exciting!
gotta taste the frosting :)

Abby's proud of her work!

The other night we made a ginger bread house, it was one of those pre-made ones that my mom gave us. Abby was very serious about it and placed all the candy all by herself in her own special design. Emma thought she was helping by eating the candy which made Abby mad. She'd say, " no Emma this is not to eat, it's for our ginger bread house!" Lance thought he was helping by watching the basketball game on TV. Well, I don't think we made the frosting thick enough because it was running all over the place. But the final product turned out pretty good, thanks to Abby! Oh, Lance did do some finishing touches after the game was over :)
