Gingerbread...
For as long as I can remember, Kate has done a gingerbread house during her Christmas break. I bought the house in hopes that she would still be interested...and she was. Even better than that was the fact that she wanted to include her brother this year. I loaded up on lots of fun candies at the end of the season last year.
I had everything set up by 11am. I didn't realize that Kate would be sleeping until 1pm! Bless Jake's heart...he kept himself entertained while he waited patiently.
When Sissy finally came downstairs, he was so excited to see her!
They worked well together. Kate didn't have a set plan this year because Jake was involved. She guided him, but she also let him do what he wanted to do.
Kate loves her brother!

Jake was really into the singing. He stood up front at each door and belted out Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas just as loud as he could. I was so proud of him!
We woke up to snow this morning. I love a White Christmas! Merry Christmas, my friends! I wish you peace, love, and joy...all the time.
