Gingerbread fun

We made our gingerbread house for the year. We invited the Willard's over and Conor and Kyler decorated to their hearts content then the adults took over. We had a great time listening to Christmas music and eating candy. Mmm..yum..yum. Unfortunately I fear our house is not going to make it to Christmas. All the decorations and icing are slowly falling off, probably with a little help. The bad think for Conor is that his blood sugar will always reveal his snitching. I must admit that he is very good about not snitching though. What a trooper. He will pull it off and then say: "Mom it is falling off, can I just eat it???" This is what I think gingerbread houses are for, so I don't mind. No perfect, 10 year old, petrified and stored gingerbread houses for us. Here is the finished masterpiece before the snitching began.

Santa Was In Town

Conor and Josie were able to take their turns on Santa's lap the other night at the ward party. Conor was pretty excited, he even abandoned his pumpkin pie so he could go stand in line. He wanted to know where he parked his sleigh and then he kept asking me what he should ask for since he had written his letter to Santa earlier and couldn't remember what he had asked for...eye roll here. I guess that means he doesn't really have his heart set on something, or he has his heart set on too much.
Josie could take Santa or leave him, she really didn't mind sitting on his lap and seemed to be fascinated with the beard. I was just glad she didn't try and rip it off.
