Christmas Eve

Where has December gone??? It has been quite a busy month and it's hard to believe it's already Christmas Eve. One of our family traditions we do is to decorate a gingerbread house together. Since I had a ton of baking still to do, Brian took charge of the project.

I don't really know who's running the show....


I asked for a smile and this is what I got: "CHEESE!"


Oohhh lala...fancy little gingerbread house.
We also baked sugar cookies and set them out for Santa. Bella is really hoping he brings her a pink Barbie. Nothing else. Seriously, just a PINK Barbie.

Before bedtime, we read the "Elf on the Shelf" one last time and said goodbye to Buddy because he has to return to Santa until next year. She really has enjoyed this book and she's so excited in the mornings to find him in his new hiding places.

So, with the stockings hung by the chimney with care....
We can't wait for St. Nicholas to soon be here!!! Merry Christmas!
