Since Thanksgiving feast pictures are now so far after the fact, here are some pictures of the weekend. After our feast, we put up the Christmas tree. I do miss the smell of a real one, but it's so nice to be able to put it up whenever we want instead of waiting for Jon to get home etc. It's tradition for Collin to put the star on top. I love this picture because ever since he was a baby, when Collin gets excited he opens his mouth wide . . .
Decorating the tree . . . 
Collins Nutcracker ornament from the Nutcracker play that he starred in last year . . .
Grace carefully putting things just the right way . . . The Gracie Way . . .
The joys of having a boy in the house - shaping the elves into Tae Kwon Do stances . . . 
My mom, aka Martha Stewart's twin, makes gingerbread houses every year. Meaning making dough from scratch, rolling it out, cutting out the house shapes, baking them, drying them etc. for us to decorate. . . now that we live here we had to do it boxed style. Jon got out the dremel tool and glue gun, and we were in "bidniss". . . 
The finished products . . . 
Then we got out the ice skates and went to the mall. I love the first one, even though it's blurry because you can tell Grace has her mouth going the whole time. . .

Some pretty sweet g-bread houses. We're thinking of doing that this week... but with graham crackers and dried fruit... Bybee style.=) Gotta love it. Can't wait to see you guys in a few!
haha. i love it. that pic of collin and jon and the tree is priceless. so cute!
That first picture is the best! I miss you guys...Christmas is not the same without you.
And leave it to Jon to break out the power tools to construct gingerbread houses. So cool.
Love the pictures- Did you know (you probably did with all your homeschool connections) that they have an outdoor ice rink at Discovery Green Park? No matter how old Collin gets, he still has a young little face I remember from Nursery- remember that one girl who pushed him over? She reminded me of Peppermint Patty.
