Merry Christmas!

gingerbread home FHE

For FHE this week we let the kids decorate some gingerbread houses. Kellie & I decided it would be fun to hand make the gingerbread this year. It was a LOT of work, but totally worth it. Next year we'll have even more fancy stuff going on. The kids had a blast!


Now, if I can just keep them from eating the whole thing before Christmas. These boys are such good buds. We love having cousins near by.

This is the train Chris' dad had when he was a kid. There are some serious benefits to being (married to) the oldest son of the family:) Thanks Merlin.

Chris is 36

36 candles makes for a GIANT flame...

this is right after he blew them out (in one breath). check out Ian's face!

the aftermath

we found this giant gift bag at the dollar store. Inside it was an iTunes gift card. (tricky, huh) Later it was used as human gift wrap.

Happy Birthday Chris. Thanks for being such a good husband, father, son, YM president, instructional designer, garbage taker-outer, video guy, byu fan, scooter riding man. WE LOVE YOU!!
