Dayna wanted a taste. Yum!
Baby ClausHans and I have a tradition that every year we buy a real Christmas tree from Home Depot (b/c it is cheap) and decorate it while listening to our favorite Christmas CD...The Carpenters! Hans and I both grew up listening to same Christmas CD so we didn't have to compromise on that. This year we invited the Dicksons over to help because it is way more fun with kids around. Dayna noticed that we didn't have a star to put on the top of our tree so we made one and she decided it HAD to be pink. She got the honors of placing it on the top of our tree. After decorating the tree we made our gingerbread houses and Hans decided that he needed to use caulking because the icing just wasn't doing the job. Silly Hans! Anyway I think the houses turned out pretty well. We love Christmas around here and now our house smells like pine. I love it! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Merry Christmas! I love your traditions. The houses were great! Sweet Santa outfit for Austin. It was just darling.
I love Christmas and all of of the fun traditions! Your gingerbread houses turned out cute. I also love your tree! We missed seeing you today. Hopefully we will be able to get together sometime soon! Have a great Christmas if I do not talk to you before we leave! Austin looks so darn cute in his Santa suit! I love it!
but now you can't eat your gingerbread house! :-( I am so excited, we are going to cut a tree down with Mark tomorrow!!! :-)
I love baby clause. His eyes are so sparkley. :)
Merry Christmas!!! What fun traditions. I've always wanted to do the whole gingerbread house, but they seem like so much work. Your little baby claus is too cute!
Looks like lots of fun! I hope Dayna didn't eat the caulking...
Mini Hans looks so cute in the Santa outfit. I am really sad that you guys are not coming for Christmas. Looks like you had fun decorating for Christmas.
So fun...love the Gingerbread house...may be tough to digest with the culk ingredient, but otherwise looks delicious. The little Clause is adorable.
the caulking is a great idea - just don't eat it. Sorry we won't see you guys up here this Christmas - cousins party is tomorrow night and we will make sure we take that photo montage of you and Angie to put in the gift exchange - though we will have to find something new to put on our living room wall afterward.
Love the caulk! Maybe we should try that this year!
