our first gingerbread house
i have always wanted to make a gingerbread house, and finally my dreams have come true (thanks to costco!). amazing that they now sell kits and you don't have to make homemade cookies or anything. it was fun to hear noah asking for candy with each application. argh! Here is our finished house.
we're in the throws of celebrating Christmas in our quiet little suburban way. singing 'jingle bells' often, thanking God for baby Jesus each time we pray, and trying to get cards out, gifts bought, and the house cleaned for this and that. it's cold again in the south, and that makes drinking hot cocoa all the more appealing. i'm ready for the smell of sausage balls to fill the house, and to sit in our pj's all morning as a family.
i'll sign off with our prayer each night over the advent calendar (and then Noah gets a candy cane).....'Thank you God for Jesus. We need a Saviour.' Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus.

Stacy, what a precious prayer for the children. As I type, I can hear Kayden's bed time lullabies playing over the baby monitor...oh how sweet our children are.
