Our Week

Both girls love to hang out by the Christmas tree.  Maddie is definitely in to redecorating it.  Allie just likes to follow Maddie around. 


I love to follow them around when they play together.

Allie will I am sure at some point come down with mono.  She loves to give kisses.



Maddie made a gingerbread train at school.  Her teacher said she was very methodical about adding her candy pieces.  I laughed.  Mrs. Hestad insisted that Maddie carefully dipped each piece in the frosting and placed it just so on her train.
She was SO proud of it.


And couldn't wait for Kip to get home to tell him about it.  So we called him.

Allie was a little too busy eating her 100th bowl of cereal of the day to pay much attention.  Thank god I got pictures though because someone named Rudder jumped on the table and ate the whole thing.

Yesterday our friend Kathi came to visit.  She did a small craft with Maddie and brought over some beautiful handmade ornaments made completely out of sugar.

They're hung high on the tree.  Hopefully Rudder-proof.

geez why haven't you sent that beast to the pound yet? Poor Mads, I hope she wasn't too upset her beautiful train got scarfed down by the hell hound.

Sugar ornament is amazing!

I have to agree with LAvs - that Rudder has NO manners!

What a beautiful gingerbread train. I wish I could have seen it in person. Thankfully you got photos of Maddie's creation. Kathi's ornament is stunning.
