Candy!!

We have been doing an activity every day tis month to help us get into the Christmas spirit.  A few weeks ago we made gingerbread houses.  Lucy loved all of the candy and Bruce and Karina enjoyed decorating the houses.  

  We hot glues the houses together.  It was so much easier than the royal icing. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Bruce's house (I helped a little). 

 

This is Karina's house.  I helped not at all.

 

They had fun and I learned how to make gingerbread from scratch so I call it a success.

Soccer!

Alan plays soccer on an indoor soccer league.  We enjoy watching him play, well mostly me.  the kids enjoy running around and distracting me from watching Alan, but we all have a good time.  Alan's brother is also on the team so on occasion the kids have their cousins there to play with as well. 

 

 

 

 

So big!

It is pretty amazing to watch the process of growing up.  Lucy is more and more inquisitive every day.  Sometimes she will get books off of the book shelf and sit on the floor and "read."  On this day she was exploring the quiet book.  I love this age.
