Pictures and A Gingerbread House Disaster

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." Yey! Christmas is just around the corner. In the spirit of the Season, we have made a couple of trips to have Christmas portraits taken. We took the boys to have pictures for our Christmas cards, and for us. Then C's family wanted the boys to have their pictures made with the cousins... So we've been to Portrait Innovations three times in about a month! The boys have done an exceptional job considering how many times they've had to say, "cheese"! Here some pictures from the first two photo sessions.
















Saturday night we decided to make a gingerbread house. Well.... at least we tried to.... Unfortunately, we failed to read the directions until most of the way through decorating it. Apparently, this is what happens when you don't wait 15 minutes to add the candy...



We still had fun though... the boys enjoyed eating the candy and icing. I guess that's what truly matters anyway, right?!





In other news, Alex is officially potty-trained! YEY ALEX! I guess he decided that 3 year olds don't need diapers, and boy, are we glad!

Alex showing me his big boy underwear. And yes, he dressed himself... pjs, shoes and a hat...just to hang out at home.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are mostly finished with your Christmas shopping! Christmas will be here before we know it!
