Rewind! Chrismas 2017

Can I just publish photos???

It snowed! Pep plowed and the girls ran through the snow.

Gingerbreading

C13 told me some time ago that December 12 was National Gingerbread House Day. That was cool with me, I took the day off to do gingerbread making and baking. Q11 was a little upset because why in the world were we going to do gingerbread house making on a WEEKNIGHT. She had a HARP lesson, too.

Both good points, but the National Gingerbread House Day won out. I made two big houses. C13 decorated one to go to Im. down the street because she's going into the hospital later this week.  We forgot to take a picture of that one. And I also made three small houses, each unique.

The house on the left was made by Q11, the next was mine, you can tell because of all of the flowers. I have a thing for the flowers, the tall one Q11, and the short, squat one C13 decorated. I wante to do that one, too. Maybe I'll make another one like that next year. Fun fun!

Advent II

After forgetting to hang up cookies two days in a row, I decided to hang them all up like C13 wanted anyway.

I wasn't sure how I'd do it, but I managed. I tied them all to strong and counted down. Each girl has their numbers on their side of the table.


This is just a gratuitous picture of Q11 in her coat. I took the photo to show the person who gave us the coat, but then TCR did this as Q11 tried to take a casual photo. Ha!

Advent.

This year I thought I'd do an advent calendar for the girls. One cookie a day for 24 days. Today was day 3. I made cookies 1-24 for each girl, some numbers are replaced by Christmas cookie shapes. But today was day 3. They are getting hung in the dining room each night for the AM consumption.
