I applaud those of you that can find the time to blog each week, or each month for that matter!! I definitely don't have the time...but was forced to update or get kicked in the butt by my sister in law------yah you Ash!
As family we got the chance to see Santa and Mrs. Claus!! Thanks to Jason and Akaela! No lines in the mall and some great food, you guys rock! Anyway, Stratton loves to pose for pictures these days and sat there like a champ. Marley did not want anything to do with Santa and cried until Blake positioned here so that she couldn't see him. I was sitting on the leg of poor Mrs. Claus. I was making sure to only put a little bit of my weight on her and I was mostly supporting myself with my toes. The expression on my face is a fake smile saying, "Hurry, I think my thighs are going to burst!"
We made a gingerbread house one night for family home evening and we decided to do it without Marley - she'll get her chance next year! Strat was so excited to do this project! He asked about it all the time and then on Monday morning the first thing he said was, "This is the day we get to make the gingerbread house!" Of course he loved it, he loves candy!
Just so you know, the J above the door was Blake's idea...isn't he creative?
Our next project? Sugar Cookies! I have decided it is best to split this project into three days. I made the dough one night, cut and cooked the cookies the next day and the following day we frosted them. On the day we cut and cooked the cookies we had some cousins over and they all took turns rolling the dough and cutting the cookies. It was fun and messy!
