The Christmas Eve activities

The kids have asked for a couple of years now to make a ginger bread house...well I've never made one and have no idea how you make the base, so ...........I bought a kit :) The kids have been waiting a several days as we'd opened the box then a few got sick and we didn't want to do it without them. So it sat on the counter and they waited, relatively patiently ;) Well today we finally  jumped in and got started on the house :)






And the finished product!




Now it was time to start baking the sugar cookies and peanut butter cookies :)



Baking isn't fun unless you get to taste some batter at some point right?!?



All in all we had a great day. The kids got to do fome fun craft/cooking projects and at naptime I got almost all the presents wrapped! So the kids of course are all excited about Christmas getting here tomarrow :) And to top it all of the kid got to track santa at www.noradsanta.org which they thought was neat. Merry Christmas all!!
