Decking the Halls, Christmas Pictures, Santa & Gingerbread Houses

Christmas pictures are my favorite pics to take of the kids. They are getting so big and taking pics of them is a fairly easy process now! Just in time for the new baby boy to come along and make everything more difficult! :) Ashby 5yrs.Dalton 3yrs.We turned on the Christmas music and let the kids decorate the tree themselves. They had so much fun and did a great job too! :)This year we had the house decorated inside and out the day of Thanksgiving. Pretty early for us, we usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving. We made our annual visit to the Mall to see Santa. This is the 1st year Dalton actually sat on Santa's lap and carried on a conversation with him. Yay!! It was really cute and quite entertaining. Ashby asked for Princess legos. Dalton asked for Mario Cart Wii game and "boy legos". The kids were really cute with Santa and since we were the only ones there at that time Santa really spent a lot of time talking to them. It was fun to watch.The kids were so anxious to decorate the Gingerbread house this year. So with Ashby off track the whole month of December (she is in year round school), we decided to decorate it for Family Home Evening last night.Ashby posing with the finished product.Ashby & Dalton had so much fun decorating their house. I love how cute Gingerbread houses turn out no matter who decorates it.
