3 Days Until Christmas
Our Sad Gingerbread House
Last year we bought a gingerbread house kit and made a house. I don't think we took pictures. It turned out pretty good. It didn't look as good as the picture on the box, but it never does. Well this year I (Amy) decided to make a gingerbread house with the girls (from a kit). Ryan made it look so easy last year. I glued the pieces together and we waited. It came apart. I glued it again and again, it kept coming apart. I decided to go ahead and let the girls decorate it. I thought it might stay together for a while.
As you can see, we took the picture and the house was starting to fall apart. You can see the icing dripping and the candies falling off. In the first picture, it doesn't look that bad, but in the second picture, you can see the other side of the roof has broken and is falling off. A few minutes after we took these pictures, it fell completely apart. It was fun and we laughed a lot. Maybe we will take a new approach next time.

5 Days Until Christmas
5 Days until Christmas: The girls each got a photo viewer. They love looking at pictures and can now see them anytime they want.
6 Days Until Christmas
6 Days until Christmas: The girls each got a photo viewer. They love to look at pictures and now they can see them anytime they want.
7 Days Until Christmas
Well...no pictures.
The girls were still sleeping when Ryan left this morning, so we did not open presents that morning. The girls & I went shopping that afternoon and did not get home until late. So, no presents to open that night. They were asleep when we got home.
We did however buy something for them while shopping.
7 Days until Christmas: The girls got a Christmas Movie and each of them got a musical card.

10 Days Until Christmas
10 Days until Christmas: the girls got a Christmas DVD, a Christmas book, and another book.
12 Days Until Christmas
We are celebrating the 12 days leading up to Christmas this year. We giving the girls a small present each day. While they were all excited, Cassidy still had a question. She wanted to know if Christmas would be like it always was and if they would get stuff in their stockings and at least 3 presents. She is such a smart girl. She wanted to be sure that we would also have fun on Christmas. I told her of course Christmas would be the same, we would just get to open presents for 12 days before Christmas and she would probably get more than 3 presents. I think this satisfied her.
12 days before Christmas: Each girl got a jingle bell necklace, Cassidy got Christmas tights, and Callie got a Christmas tutu.

Playing on the Computer
Today I took a picture of Chloe as she played on the computer. She doesn't really know what she is doing, but she enjoys clicking the mouse and pushing the keys.
