Monday

We geared up for house guests today.  Mom, Carl, Katie and Randy all came in to help us celebrate Christmas.  I had been telling Tyler all day that as soon as they got here that we would have Aunt Katie help us make a gingerbread house.  They didn't get here until dinner time so we quickly ate and then started on our little project.  I always have these grand dreams that our house will come out like those awesome ones that we see on the box, in magazines, and on TV.  Yet somehow I always end up just shocked at how little creative talent I have!=) We did have a few laughs as we tried to create our little masterpiece!

Mom made Tyler a little Christmas tree a few years ago that has little construction ornaments on it.  This year she made a tree for Emma.  She put the Disney princesses on it with red lights...it was beautiful and Emma LOVED it!
