Gingerbread House Fun

Well, the almost-finished product looks quite nice...








...but look how it started!


The girls were having a fun time putting the icing on the house and used their whole hands to get the job done. There was lots of finger licking also. :)

Some Christmas Pictures

Becky M. had the idea to decorate the tree with the bluish and silver theme, which I thought turned out very pretty. It took some work to get the lights strung so they looked nice. I was hoping the kids would have helped more to get the ornaments on, but they were more interested in playing with cousins and running up and down Grandma's steps. A couple more decorating pictures are at the bottom of this post.

Here's Bailey playing with one of the tubs of Legos.

Jeff and Aaron battle it out with a game of Othello.

Someone had to do the work in the kitchen...

...because the main chef was napping with her newest grandson. :)

Now Grandpa gets a turn at holding him.

And Becky C. did a good job of getting him to sleep when he was screaming so much. Here at home Tracy has the touch.

It is hard to believe that week 2 and week 3 have gone by already.

Sewing Project

Well, here are the dresses I started working on sewing two weeks ago when David decided to be born. I've never seen my nieces in matching clothes so thought I'd give this project a try. I'm not sure if they'll fit or even if my sister-in-law will dress them in them, but it was fun to do anyway. I'll have to stop when we're in town tonight and pick up some zippers. The material was given to us by a friend. I had enough other material that was in the same bag to make each of my girls a dress along with a pair of pants and shorts for Emily.

Boys

Here are Aaron and Jason with David.
