Gingerbread House

Every since I was a little girl the one thing that I always wanted to do but never did was to build a gingerbread house. For some reason that is such a holiday thing to do in my mind. The other day Corey and I were out and Corey decided to get one. I was so excited. I couldn't wait until Savannah saw it. We picked her up from school and I opened my mouth about it. It was the first thing that we did when we got home that day. This little kit was amazing! It provided everything you needed and then some. We had enough candy to munch on while building the house and enough icing to squirt on Savannah's fingers every now and again and enough to squirt in her mouth ;) Hey its the holidays. he he.

Before we got started.

Notice Savannah's hand. Her whole hand was in her mouth :)

The icing on her face is from the icing fight we got into.

We have so much going on in the month of December. We have something planned every weekend and almost everyday of the week. I was looking at my calendar and couldn't believe how busy we are! I am really excited about next Tuesday. Its Savannah's Christmas Musical and she has been practicing for weeks. The songs are so cute that they are singing:

Twinkle, Twinkle, Special Star,
Guiding Wise Men from afar,
Up above the world so bright
Shining on that special night.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Special Star,
Guiding Wise Men from afar.

The children will also be doing a duet with the Chipmunks, singing Deck the Halls and a lot more cute little verses. Savannah is understanding that Christmas is about the birth of Christ and it so sweet to listen to hear tell me about it. An awesome thing about the month of December is Corey and I are both out of school! I am so excited that Corey's off days will feel like real family time (when he is not doing side jobs).

We had pictures taken of the kids yesterday and it was an experience! I think Austin might of been a little too young. Oh well, we will try again. We managed to get a couple good poses. I will try and post them on her if I can.
