Our first gingerbread house!

We had fun decorating our first gingerbread house. Allison thought it was much more fun to suck all of the sugar off of the gumdrops and then stick on the house. Funny girl!

Allison wanted nothing to do with Santa...however, her favorite doll at home is ho-ho (as santa is called)!

(Just for you Julia... at least I know one person looks at this:) Went to see Santa this weekend. Grace would get only as close as Brian's knee.

Ok...so I guess I remembered my password...now I just need to remember how to add pictures!

I think I did it! Here we are in Arizona over Thanksgiving out by the pool! Although it was sunny, it was only about 50-60 degrees but still warmer than the 17 degrees when we left Portland :)
