The Ginger Bread House

hi there, it's been a while since my last post but i've been a little sick. looks like i picked up strep throat and a cold on top of that so this is the first day that i've felt human. so far the kids are pretty healthy but it looks like Sadie might be coming down with a cold. we're saying lots of prayers that we'll all be healthy for the holidays.

so being sick has put off all holiday decorating. we're going to try to set up the tree tonight. seems a little silly since we'll be leaving a week later but oh well. we can't do christmas without a tree.

we did manage to make a gingerbread house. well, actually, Caleb and Andy did it while i tried to keep my distance, not wanting to infect anyone. it was so cute and Caleb was so excited. one of the neighbors gave the kids a kit for christmas and as soon as we brought it home, all Caleb talked about was making the gingerbread house. it was all i could do to put it off until Daddy got home. i kept telling him "mommy doesn't know how to make gingerbread houses. we need Daddy for that" that seemed to work and then when Andy got home, it was all we could do to make him wait until after supper.

well, he loved it and it looks like we will be doing this next year as well. he's still talking about his gingerbread house.

well, that's all for now- i'll post a little more later, including pictures of the house
