Christmas Round 2

A few days later, Grandma BB and Grandpa John came down for a visit. Since Lily still naps in the middle of the day, we stayed at the ho use and played, opened gifts and visited. We did go out for dinner (which was an experience they'll never forget :-) and drove to see Christmas Lights afterwards. John made it home after lights and visited for a short time too. It was so good to see everyone.

Gift time! The cones were a HUGE hit and will come in handy during lots of playtime. The twins also got Leapster games and Lily got an awesome baby center. The baby center had to be put together so while Grandpa John and his helper (of course!) put that together, the girls played with the new Leapsters and Grandma BB.
Love this one!!
And the finished product! Abby immediatelly started moving in. They all love this and play with it. Lily is the only one who plays with dolls however. Jake and Abby play with their animals.

After Lily went down for a nap, we decided to get out the gingerbread house to decorate. This time, I had an "easy tray" which actually helped alot. The kids played outside with the cones for a bit while the "glue" dried. Although we should have let it dry a bit more.

The beginning...

I missed all the in-between shots here as I added the icing while the kids decorated, but we'll get those from Grandpa John. Just use your imagination for now.

Hmmm, adding a bit too many gumdrops?

Here, I'll fix that!

Oh well, let's just keep going.

Uh oh!

Hmmm.

Here, I can fix that again.

Oh well, let's just eat it. It's a total loss.

Our gingerbread house didn't last long, but everyone had a blast making it.
