Gingerbread Houses and Choo-Choo Trains

The Christmas preparations have begun.  This year I thought the girls would have fun putting together a gingerbread house so I picked up a kit at Trader Joes.  It was the perfect simple little kit and the girls had fun decorating it.  I do think more candy ended up in their mouths than on the house though.

Papa has an amazing electric train set up under their Christmas tree each year.  They girls love playing with it and using the controls to make it go.  Last year the girls received this small little Polar Express train set with a remote so we decided to put it under our tree.  Not quite the same as Papa’s but it did the trick.

Unfortunately, this year we didn’t go cut down our own Christmas tree.  We didn’t have time and the weather was awful so we grabbed one from a local tree lot.  It wasn’t quite the same but the girls had fun hanging decorations.IMG_0136
