Gingerbread

We made Gingerbread houses again this year, which the kids loved. Conner loved shoving the candy in his mouth faster than mom and dad could grab it from him. When we told him to stop eating the candy, he proceeded to dip it in the frosting and lick it off, and then put it back on the house. Technically, he followed our directions! 

The houses collapsed again this year. Mom and dad need to go back to architectural school. Luckily, we were able to blame our elf Tinsel for crashing it over night!

Santa Lucia Day

Santa Lucia day this year was a fun packed day. We started the morning with both kids wearing their light crowns Grandma gave them to wake up dad, opening presents, and eating donuts in bed. Then, Lexi had her winter party at school where they played games, ate snowmen cupcakes, and did a craft. We ended the day at Conner's Christmas concert at preschool where he did a fantastic job with all the movements. His teacher was so proud of him for remembering them, that she gave him a high five. A great way to gear up for more holiday fun!

Brotherly Play

Conner has decided that he would like to play with his little brother. Since he is non-responsive, Conner has decided his best approach is just to pile everything on his play mat and then sit down with him. I guess it is the thought that counts!
