Making Gingerbread Houses

After ice skating, we made gingerbread houses. This year I bought two kits, so the boys could do one and the girls could do the other. Talia and Kayli convinced Falyn to do all the gingerbread people, leaving the girl house to the two of them to decorate. Everyone did a great job and had fun with only a bit of the candy ending up in mouths and not on the houses.









Girl Scout Ice Skating Event

Falyn was so excited to finally be a Girl Scout and get to go to the annual Girl Scout Ice Skating Event. Since it was held during a free skate session, Dan had the twins’ Cub Scout den have a Ice Skating outing at the same time. Everyone had a great time.





Christmas Card Photo Shoot

We went to Heritage Park this afternoon to take our Christmas Card photos. It is a lovely park with lots of scenic areas to take photos. We got a lot of great shots. It will be hard to pick out which ones to use for our Christmas Cards. Here’s some of my favorites.








Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving over at Dan’s parents house. Dan’s sister and her family were also there.
