Gingerbread House or Disaster?

Putting on some finishing touches

making a path

What a mess. None of the pieces would stay together even when we gave them an hour to set. At one point the whole house was flat. I finally constructed a cardboard inner structure and tied a ribbon around just to hold it up. Disaster, but Jacob sure had a fun time decorating the roof as it kept sliding down (hahahaha). We finally got everything to stay. Oh well, better luck next year.

We Even Made a Snowman...

or two!

Jacob and I went back out in the snow in the afternoon and made our little snowman family. We had a blast!!

I Love the Snow

What a fun day. This was the first real snow the boy's have seen (Jacob saw it snow for 15 minutes in South Carolina a year ago with no accumulation). We got right out there and Jacob didn't want to come back inside. The Christmas season is certainly a magical one. I'm going to go turn on some Christmas music!!

Yes, the cookie was yummy.

Mmmmmmmm Chocolate chip cookies.

Jacob the Photographer

Just a click.

In the middle of eating his squash lunch.

Our camera has a remote control you can use to take pictures with just a click and Jacob loves using it. I moved the camera around and these are the images he captured with the remote. I would say he is a photographer in the making.

The Chef and The Mess Maker

Jacob, our master chef. He is great at helping mom in the kitchen. His specialties are cookies and blueberry waffles.
Meanwhile.....Eric was making a different kind of creation.

What mom, you're the one taking pictures insread of stopping me?

What mess? Oh I mean, brother did it. Yeah that's it.

Great Falls National Park

The Falls

The sound and the sight were absolutely amazing. I would recomend this trip to everyone.

Fooling around on the rocks.

Jake loved standing on the bridge and looking for the little fishy.
