December Fun

Santa sent Bob, the elf, to our house this year to watch Lily and Henry for him and make sure they are being nice. Every night, he goes back to the North Pole and reports back to Santa then comes back every morning, picking a new spot to sit and watch for the day.


Lily and I made a gingerbread house! This was the first time I've ever made one...and it wasn't too bad! We had a great time! The hardest part was trying to stop Lily from eating all the icing!


She pretty much did all the candy decorations. I would put the icing on and tell her which candy to use...I think she did a fabulous job!


Ta da! The finished product! I have a cute video of her hugging and kissing the gingerbread house, but it takes too long to upload videos on here. Maybe I'll try to get it on here some other time...

We also made some fun window decorations with felt, beads and ribbon. Lily loves to glue stuff, so gluing on the beads was a big hit!
