Christmas Eve Continued...

Hi there- it's Alison again- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

As you can see, the house was a frenzy of baking and crafting this afternoon. Here are Anne and Louise working at decorating gingerbread men made by Eric- I don't think they turned out exactly the way E planned- oh well...
And here are the miniature Christmas trees that will be tomorrow's table decorations. The one closest to us in the picture is the one Eric did- apparently I am not the only crafty one in the fam!


And here's a picture of E's shortbread- took him two batches to get it up to snuff.

Here's the family before we went to the 4:30 church service. Suffice it to say that Vake is LOUD in a big vaulted church- everyone knew he was there and the highlight for us as parents was when he drooled on the 8 year old in the pew in front of us.
Am I getting shorter, btw? Or is it just that Vake is so big that I cannot stand up straight if I am holding him? E looks like a giant in this pic.

My little pumpkin tried one piece of shortbread before we went to church- it was delish.


How funny is this pic- V is sitting on the dining room table and you can see Stilly's nose hoping for a handout!


After church, we went to Grandmary's for dinner- Eric was the carver!


We loved getting some time with Aunt Anne and Uncle Denny!


When we got home, we put out some cookies, Chex Mix and scotch for Santa.
