Winter wonderland

At least it's snowing inside, if not outside! :)
 Mel was my helper for JAC the last time, and we made MINIATURE gingerbread houses. I bought a kit with 5 pre-baked houses and thought it would be perfect for the 5 kids! (Madison was busy that evening) It didn't give the dimensions of the houses on the box, so Mel and I both busted up laughing when we opened it to discover the walls of the houses were 2 inches high! It turned out to be perfect for the kids, though, and suited their attention spans!  Unfortunately, the candy supplied did not match the photos on the box exactly, and some of them NEEDED to have it "just like the picture"!
 Jude was happy just to put as many sprinkles on the roof as possible!
I love his hands!
 Connor, concentrating. His candies match the picture. :)

 Snow makes everything better! Yes, Mel, better!
  They turned out really sweet!
 Madison needed to get dressed up in a princess dress before she could help decorate the tree!
Our tree this year. It's beautiful!

 We had our Christmas Feast at Myers Pointe on Saturday. It was such a good feast but I didn't get any pictures. At all. That tends to happen when I'm busy in the kitchen. :)
Here are two videos of the choir, taken by my brother on his phone. They're not great quality, but still fun. :) Sorry about the baby crying. I didn't have a program to edit the file.
Happy last minute Christmas prep, peoples! Only 12 more days! My Christmas gift that I ordered for our family gift exchange came in the mail today, and I.am.thrilled. :D I hope/think "they'll" like it! :D

Let me rephrase that for you...it makes things 'look nicer' def NOT make all things better:)

Thanks, guys! Mel, I concur. :D Roshini, I was just wondering if you had been able to keep Jude from eating his! :D He was ready to dig in right away!
