getting into Christmas


We decided to postpone Christmas until Spencer gets home (Jan 5th, I hope) so he can see the boys open their presents. But even without presents, we still did lots of fun Christmas stuff!
On Monday night we had a really fun family home evening with our friends. We did a board game gift exchange and attempted to make gingerbread houses. They may not have turned out the best, but it was entertaining...my friend took pictures of our "gingerbread village" but she didn't send them yet so here's just mine and Jamin's.....

On Tuesday, Jamin made cupcakes. He cracked the eggs, poured everything in, mixed it together, he did everything! He even smashed candy canes to put on top (that was his favorite part) They ended up tasting really good...even though he was licking his fingers the whole time.














Later that night, we went over to our friend's for dinner. That was lots of fun. It was the Halls, the ones I mentioned earlier who sing amazingly. Jamin always loves to go over there because Connor is into Thomas the train too and has lots of cool toys. And Kiersten and Kaylee are always great with the kids, they'll make good moms someday.
