weekend....

We had a somewhat relaxing weekend....somewhat. We didn't have any major plans. I wrapped a bunch of presents on Saturday, finished up a big part of my shopping, and had a little birthday party for Emily today - she made gingerbread houses with her buddy Jenna. (Yes, I know Emily's birthday isn't for ten days, but this was a good day to get together and celebrate with her friend, so it worked out.) So that was relaxing to us this time of year.

Paigey this morning. She is so dang CUTE. If I could eat her with a spoon I would. She loves to help out in any way that she can. She is talking up a storm. And she is getting pretty good at smiling for the camera.
Her signature pout of course....


Emily and her gingerbread house - 100% her decorating.

And this is the creation of the three adults who sat around and watched the girls decorate their houses....and could not stand it any longer. So, we made a third house. Just for the adults. I decided that next year, we would have a gingerbread house decorating party for both KIDS and ADULTS. It was way too fun.

Then of course, there was CAKE.

And it ten more days it will be for real. Seven. SEVEN!!!
