Christmas Eve 2011

We begin this Christmas journey with Christmas Eve. We did the usual traditions like decorating cookies for Santa, opening the 1 present of new pajamas, writing a note for Santa. Usually we HAVE been doing a gingerbread house as well, but being the ever lazy shopper that I am and my refusal to go to ANY store a week before Christmas, we had none. SO. Instead we made a pretzel log cabin and decorated that. Turns out the kids really just want to eat stuff covered in icing, gobs and gobs of icing. Pretzels, candy, candy covered icing pretzels apparently count as good.

More icing and candies.

Triumph!

The finished Cabin!
