Christmas fun

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We've been doing some fun things around here - trying to keep the kids occupied inside with the cold weather we've been having! This is a picture of our gingerbread house after the girls decorated it. It's no "El Dorado" (you'd have to know Jeremy to get that) but it's darn cute! The girls had a lot of fun eating - um- decorating the house with the candy!
We don't need the spray on snow to make our windows look frosty! It just has to be -45! (that's with wind... it's only around -28 or so) lol
It's time to decorate sugar cookies! Such as it was. Mom did all the cookies but 2, and those two cookies, done by the girls, well, let's just say there wasn't a lot of cookie left, and the bowl of icing was almost gone! (it was a small bowl) Needless to say, about 10 minutes after all was said and done, Karissa was complaining of a tummy ache!
Alright, I know, the pics are out of order, but what do you do? Joel and the girls did a great job of finishing off the house.
Such concentration.
She looks so focussed! She actually did really well! Only a few candies went in her mouth... :)

Well, we will definitely miss being in BC for Christmas, but are also looking forward to our white Christmas!! (yes, the forecast says it's supposed to snow on Christmas day!) I'm sure there will be lots more to come... but in case I don't... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
