Gingerbread Holiday House!

We made a gingerbread house. Ed said, "How long before we can eat it? The tree is looking good..." I think we'll take a bite out of it soon!

Santa Claus is coming to town...

Christmas is right around the corner, and EJ and I have been working hard to Christmasify the house... We picked out a most perfect tree (see pictures), set up the nativity, hung stockings, sang Christmas carols...

We did all of our Christmas shopping in one weekend, and thanks to a lovely post office employee, our gifts have all been crammed into one box and they're now on their way to Indiana. In only a couple of weeks, we'll be on our way to Fort Wayne for the much-anticipated Ruprecht Christmas!

We attended EJ's office Christmas party last night, and we ate too much and had lots of fun. Here's a picture of us trying to set the timer for a photo in front of his parents' Christmas tree...

I love Christmas! What a wonderful Christmas this will be... We are so blessed, so happy!
