Gingerbread House Fun!












We introduced another annual tradition of ours to the rest of the family this weekend which was decorating gingerbread houses. Blake's brother and his family along with Bill and Jan and Blake's cousin Karoli's son, Matthew (who was spending the night) all came over for pizza and gingerbread house-making fun! The kids had a blast making the houses although I think more candy made it's way into their mouths instead of on their creations:-) A little hot cider and gingerbread coffee topped off a great evening!

Christmas Tree Hunting!






We did our annual Christmas tree hunt the weekend after Thanksgiving. Blake's parents went with us to look for their tree as well. Our new mini schnauzer, "Pepper", joined us too and thoroughly enjoyed the snow. It was a beautiful afternoon and we found great trees as always!
