December Catch Up
Feb 09
Everyone,
Is it bad that I JUST TODAY uploaded my pictures from December from my camera? Please lie and say it’s fine! Happens all the time!

So…ahem…here’s what we did in December!
Every year we make a gingerbread house. This year was no exception.
We did add one two things. First was our friend Lavender joined us for the candy placing. And this year we had extra frosting on hand. And we did the best thing we could with it.
Then there was the trip to the Washington DC Temple to see the lights. Twice. Because I forgot my camera the first time.
And the great hunt for the missing glove.
Christmas Eve brought us Chinese food. So naturally, Santa got a fortune cookie for his cookie plate.
(Which said, “You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily.” I thought that was very fitting.)
Christmas was a blast!
And on Sunday! So the kids looked so so cute in the afternoon!
But before that, there were presents to open.
And bikes to ride in the house.
And we always go to Mt. Vernon the week between Christmas and New Year’s. We saw the sights:
The house.
The Gingerbread House.
The River.
The Gardens.
The Pardoned Turkey from Thanksgiving. (Professor just laughed and laughed when the turkey gobbled.)
Aladdin the Camel. (Which Professor kept a HUGE berth around. I guess camels are “scary”.)
A Distant Relative (aka my Great Aunt!).
So in answer to my above question, it IS okay that I just uploaded my pictures. And it IS okay that it took me 2 days to do this post. You enjoyed it right? That makes it okay!
