I french braided A's hair!!!

LOVE her 80's Outfit!

Christmas Eve was a little different this year. We skipped Christmas Eve service at church and went to mom's early. It was nice.

Gingerbread House 2011

Sprinkling Powdered Sugar on Roof for Snow Effect :)

We had a fun evening of decorating a Gingerbread House a few weeks ago! R loved it and the candy ;) She doesn't get a lot of candy so she loved this. She would sneak pieces!!! Oh and she loves candy canes like her mama! Mmm

I think that next year we will make the Gingerbread House from scratch. We did make the frosting from scratch since I bought the house last year on clearance so the frosting was a tad bit old...lol. I found a vegan recipe for Royal Frosting (no eggs). It was surprisingly good!

Decorating for Christmas 2011

Decorating for Christmas this year was so much fun! R got all the ornaments out of each box for me while I was putting on the lights. She loved it!!! Then she helped with putting on the ornaments...which all ended up at the bottom of course! :) R had her first cup of hot chocolate too that night! We even decorated a tree to put in her room. I just realized that we do not have a picture of the completed tree or her tree. I will add those soon. :)
