More Christmas, Decorating...of Many Kinds







We put together our very first Gingerbread House...not too shabby, considering it started falling apart while adding the candy to it...GEESH! That and trying to explain to Elena that we don't eat the house right after you make it...keeping her and the dog away from it has been a chore already! :) It's still pretty funny though (even though I won't tell her it is) to watch the two of them try to sneak snacks off of it.




And how kind of Diva to contribute to the "decorating" by creating fake snow out of toilet paper for the front room...how...festive...




We're excited for this time of year...decorating, cooking, lights and presents...but the best gift, and the reason we celebrate Christmas, is because Christ came to earth for us. We are grateful! The funny in that is that right now everywhere we go, if there's a baby Elena squeals "Look Mommy! It's Baby Jesus! Oh, she SO cute! (our "he's and she's" are mixed up right now)". Hilarious! ;)




Luke 2:9-11 "An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
