trees, candy and lights, OH MY!

 
On Sunday evening, our neighbors/BFFs came over for some Christmas Tree and Cookie decorating fun!
 

 
Aunt Gina and our cousin Krista came over too!
 
Each of the kids picked some candy to decorate and got a sugar cone and green icing to make their tree.














 
The trees turned out great and the kids had a great time!

 
After we cleaned up the kitchen, we headed to Pecan Grove to look at lights.
 
The boys took hundreds of pictures!!!!


 
Ava wanted her picture taken with Ariel!



 
We love creating these memories with our kids and look forward to our life long friendships!
 
 


christmas tree bath painting

 
In October, the kids painted pumpkins in the bath tub so why not make Christmas Trees in December?!
 


 
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree....


Gingerbread House 2012

With every December comes a Gingerbread House!
We thought about decorating 2 because Ava isn't into sharing these days but it would've been a waste. We typically just eat WHILE decorating, not after.
So, 1 house it was.
The kids did a fantastic job sharing and decorating their own people and halves of the house!
 





 
There was a lot of silliness and taste testing going on!


 
HIGH FIVE....YAY!!!!!





 
This year's house turned our pretty good!
see the last few years HERE


cutest reindeer I ever did see

The kids made gifts for the grandparents this year.
Homemade gifts are always the best!
 










 
What Q-T's!!!!


 
Needless to say, all of the grandparents LOVED their Reindeer Ornaments.
We have a set too!
