I never did get around to sending out my Christmas cards this year. It pains me, but I just couldn't get it together. I've just decided that I will mail a "New Year" letter instead. I managed to get a picture of the kids, after the millionth time. I think it turned out decent. There have been better pictures, for sure. But it'll do it's job.
You can hardly tell, but Kait actually has a tear falling from her eye. She just finished a bawl fest.
These are the cookies that we made for Santa this year. Oh my word. They were great! And easy.
We make a gingerbread every year. For the last couple of years, I've made it from scratch. Now, that doesn't always mean that it stands and looks like a gingerbread house. But, it is more fun..and cheaper. A win, win. We're generally not huge fans of gingerbread though, so we would never even touch the house after it was made. My cheapness didn't really like this. This year, I went with a chocolate version of a gingerbread house. I think it was actually called Chocolate Dream or something like that. We're never goin' back!
We had some issues with the house, so I'll spare you all the lovely-ness. But, I did have to show you what would happen if you left the finished gingerbread house unattended in house full of kids with nerf guns. This:
Completly obliterated. Honestly, though, I have no idea if the nerf gun was to blame, but the bullet sure does look guilty.
And, I will leave you with the runner-up picture for the "New Year" letter.
I told them to loosen up, and this is what I get! Although, it may just make it in the "New Year" afterall!
It's how they are! :)

Your kids are adorable! and I love the silly picture:)
How cute! And I love those pretzels. Great job kidlets.
BAHAHAHA I love the second picture-- they are adorable. I too think the nerf gun was probably responsible for the house disaster:)
