Alex was very festive for the holidays. My sewing machine broke right before I could finish our new stockings so I had to go out and get the $2 ones so the kids had something. Alex loved putting them on and pretending he was Santa.
On Christmas Eve, we went to Carol and Mike and the kids got to make gingerbread houses. It is a tradition in their family and since it was so much fun it might become one in ours.
Here is Ashley and Brooke making theirs.
Jonathan's contribution was to eat as much candy as he could at one time.
The Giles finished product.
The Glesser's finished product.
Here is Alex setting up the cookies and milk for Santa.
He actually wrote the note himself we just told him how to spell FOR SANTA.
And boy did Santa like those cookies. Thank you to everyone who sent all the gifts. We were amazed and felt very loved even though we were all alone.
Here are a couple of videos of the boys thanking people. I think we got through Kevin and Kayla and they gave up.
Adam was able to go with us to the zoo. It was very cold so we spent a lot of time in the indoor animal area. They loved the bug goggles.
We were at the zoo for all of an hour, but we still made it to the giant spider web.
Just last weekend we got Alex a new Batman costume. He wears his superman costume just about all day, every day. So we figured we should spread the love around.
Here is a picture of my beloved machine that my parents got me a decade ago. It was very good to me and made a lot of beautiful items.
But I drop kicked it and upgraded to the mega mega quilting machine. Now if you have been promised a quilt I may actually get to it this century. Probably not this decade though.
