Holiday Fun - Christmas Lights & Gingerbread Houses

We continued the tradition of looking at Christmas lights in Manhattan and hit up McAlister's for supper first.  This picky little eater LOVES McAlister's!  She usually always eats all of her mac 'n cheese and applesauce.

The kiddos changed into matching jammies and I ran into Starbucks for hot chocolate.

Eden was happy as a clam with her Starbucks cup with about an inch of water.

We gave Gingerbread Houses a try for the first time this year.

This was a great use of our major stash of Halloween candy.

It kept everyone busy for a very long time!

Eden mainly just ate everything she could get her hands on.

The finished products.

Oliver's First Christmas Program

Oliver finally had his first program.  There were no programs last year due to Covid and this program was postponed twice before they were finally able to have it.  (Oliver and his entire class had a tummy bug in the matter of a week or so which caused the first postponement.  A crazy December wind storm caused a propane leak at the school which postponed it a second time.)

Naptime Snuggles

Paisley had to have (several!) cavities filled and we couldn't go back with her.  These two did a great job waiting patiently in the waiting room.

Taking advantage of these warmer temperatures with a Wendy's picnic at the park.

We took the front of Eden's crib off (and put a railing in its place).  She thinks she's a pretty big deal.

Oliver thinks it's fun to help with dishes...let's see if he still thinks that in a few more years.

Always willing to help with baking!

This girl loves her popcorn.
