It went like this....

We have been MIA but it kinda went like this.....

Thanksgiving was great, we did not get a single picture, but, the food was great and I am still working off the extra pounds.  The shopping was tiring, I am still trying to recover,and still wrapping.  Then, November was over and December here. 

We started it off by going to breakfast with Santa.  The boys loved him, no tears this year!  Every time I would turn around Van would be back over cutting the kids and talking to Santa. The list was long! 

Even Gunner took his turn and played with his awesome white beard.

 On to our ginger bread house, it was awesome.  It had tons of frosting and candy, but we couldn't stop there...

 Grandma sent the boys some fish and told us how to build a pond but it was so fun we ended up with two big lakes to go with our house. 

 Since they are there Daddy's boys they knew it would not be complete with out some trees, animal crackers and a hunter. Yes, they had to add that to.  It was a fun project!!

 Christmas Sunday, This picture just makes me laugh :)

Finally,Christmas Eve.  The story has been read, the cookies and milk are out, the new jammies are on, the good bye's have been said (for Stanley, our elf) 

and the boys are all asleep. 

Merry Christmas everyone!
