Our Christmas Update

We started off the Advent season making gingerbread houses.  Mommy was a bit surprised she had to build them before we decorated them, and of course the mess was epic.  Next year she said she'll buy a plastic throw-away table cloth so that we can pick up and toss when we are all done.




Next Evie had her violin recital, which was really LONG but she did a great job.

After the recital we enjoyed a lot of activities leading up to Christmas.  Speaking of Christmas, here are some pictures from our visit with Grandma and Papa Tom:

All three girls with new journals

Rainbow Loom - YES!

Emma was thrilled with her combined gift: a labtop

Secret diaries!

Christmas PJs

Didn't know Darth Vader was part of Christmas, did ya!

Joke time

Cards and Money from Papa Ray
 
More joking!

We also went to Holiday Nights with Grammy and Papa.  I begged for a long time, because Mommy and Daddy told us it was only for adults.  We had a really good time!



Thank you letters to Santa

Loved the craft works area at night


On Friday, our beloved Papa Ray went to heaven.  We are very sad, and will always carry him in our hearts.
