We also decided to have a Pre-Christmas family day on Saturday. Rick bought the girls gingerbread houses, so he and the girls made and decorated them, while I set up the tree, and got decorations ready for the girls. My sister stopped by for a visit. We went for supper with Rick's mom. Then we came home, finished decorating the tree, and sat down and watched a movie. I was hoping to make it to see Santa that day too, but, the girls and Daddy were having too much fun decorating houses and cookies.
On Sunday, a friend was in from out of town. We went out to Langham to visit with her, and watch her daughter play in a hockey tournament. Then I went to Just Scrap It to pick up some supplies. After the girls had a nap, we did some crafts and made some Christmas cards. The girls went to bed pretty early Sunday night, as did we.
Throughout the festivities, the girls said some pretty funny things.
MacKenzie thought that her stocking was like a halloween bag...Santa would come and fill it up with candy
Kaylee was trying to blow out the tree topper. (It has 3 fake candles at the top that light up, she thought the tree was on fire)
MacKenzie asked how Santa was going to get in the house cause we don't have a chimney. And she wanted to know how he was going to get off the roof after he parked his sleigh up there. I had to tell her we would leave the patio door open, and Santa would park on the lawn so she wouldn't worry about him.
I am hoping to make this weekend, or at least the one day, into a tradition for our family. Since we share our Christmas with all of our family...brothers, sisters and parents on both sides, we figured we get pretty hectic around Christmas day. So we thought that if we used the first weekend in December to set up our tree, and decorate cookies/houses, do some baking, and go and see Santa, and then have an evening of movies or games, that we could have a pre-christmas day family celebration with just the four of us.
Anyways I posted some pictures of our weekend, and our new truck...Enjoy!!
The tree looks way better in person
Daddy and his girls making their gingerbread house
Yes!! this is MacKenzie's gingergread WOMAN...LOL....she thought it needed to have boobs...and she made them all on her own. At least Mack was generous..but they could have been a little closer together...hehe ... and they match the color of her eyes
I was so jealous...I'm used to crafting with the girls. But Rick was looking SO forward to making the gingerbread house with them, so I just sat back and took the pictures.
Our new truck...98 chev half ton, extended cab, short box, 4x4
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed the pictures

That is a LOT of candy!!! Looks like a fair amount made it to the gingerbread house - which is very classy looking!
Nice tree Angie!
The gingerbread houses are great, but I love the woman!! So hilarious! Jared really wanted to do a house this year with Preston, but I figured he's not even 2 yet, so we'll wait 1 more year! Glad you had a great weekend, it's always good to have family traditions! The next step is just being able to keep them in the years to come!
