We love Christmas time

Every year we build gingerbread houses at my in-laws sometime in the week before Christmas.  Lachlan was all amped up to make candy houses but when it came right down to it, I made the house and he ate the candy.

Our gingerbread village.

L to R: Lacey, Kris, Jen, Scott, Misty, Lachlan (down low), and Anthony.  My mother-in-law gave each of her kids one of these shirts for Christmas.  

Kris decided that it went best with the pink bunny outfit he had donned for christmas morning, which was actually his Halloween costume.  I love him so much!

Lachlan opening presents.  He had such a fun Christmas.

Cardboard box train

Somehow my son got it in his head that he needed a train made from cardboard boxes, so here it is.  Anthony is such a good dad and they had so much fun making this together.  It has since gotten a headlight, wheels, and an extra car put on.  I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is such a fun dad.

Simba

These were taken just the week before we had to put our Simba to sleep.  He was the best dog ever and I hope he is much happier now.  We miss him so badly.
