Christmas Happenings

it is definitely looking a lot like christmas around here.  it's so fun in the evening to have twinkling little lights lit all around in the dark corners of the house.  it's one of my favorite things.  besides little lights we have:



a newly decapitated wise man.  so sad.  we're hoping for some glue surgery.



i found a gingerbread house kit (target it think) that had 5 mini houses in it.  perfect!



everyone made their own.



when i wrap presents i typically lose my scissors and tape every 5 seconds.  does that happen to you?  i swear i just put the tape down when it disappears beneath a mountain of tissue and wrapping paper.  i even often have multiple pairs of scissors and several things of tape, but alas...i still lose them.



there's been a whole lotta shakin' going on.



awwww freak out!



their stuffies even competed in "the voice" one evening.  complete with buzzers, judges and music.



we've mailed off our parcels.



and there's still a little candy left on the gingerbread houses ;)
