Here come the cookies

Well once again, we've been washed away in busyness, but I did at least get a few pictures of some of our latest Advent activities...

 What a great Husband Dear--he was left to finish up what our three children were too tired to complete--please ignore the extraneous kitchen details, oh well since I've pointed it out, if you look closely behind Husband Dear you will see our aforementioned washing machine located in the kitchen, and our very handy trash can--oops!

 Stop.  Gingerbread time.
 You wouldn't maybe know it to look at her, but little imp is sick with fever in this shot--we've all been sick again (except eldest son).  I'm hoping we don't make illness a normal Christmas tradition, but it's been the norm thus far. 




I love the enthusiasm in this picture--I mean, really, shouldn't every six year old feel this way about a house made of cookies and candy and icing?  As an update, caught our youngest imp sneaking in and "liberating" some of the mortar from her skittle covered house.   Guess she's on the mend.=)
