Christmas Fun

We have made two gingerbread houses here. Bob bought a kit not knowing I had already bought one. The boys of course love anything having to do with candy. Here's the better looking one:

Glenn was hiding on purpose.

Glenn also made a gingerbread house in school. I wasn't able to go to school to help because I didn't have anyone to watch Alexander. So, apparently he was given free reign with the frosting. It's so cute (and he says it's tasty).


Our community had a craft fair this weekend and also had a Santa. We've never taken the kids to see Santa because Glenn has always been very opposed to going. But Alexander said he wanted to see "Tuta" (as he calls him) and had prepared what he was going to tell him he wanted for Christmas. When we got there, I don't think he realized it was going to be a real person, not like all the lawn decorations we've seen. He was frozen. He did kind of talk to Santa, but would not go near his lap. He did sit on my knee next to Santa for a picture and gave Santa five.



Glenn, as expected, wouldn't even go near Santa. He was too nervous. We didn't push him. There is a website that allows you to put in info about your child, like how old and what they want for Christmas. And then Santa makes a video for them talking to them. Both boys love it. Alexander saw Glenn's video first, and thought it was neat. But he was in awe when Santa said his name in his video. It's cute. Alexander asks to see Tuta every time he sees me on the computer.
