Christmas comes a little early

Well, we decided to split Christmas up a little bit this year. Santa Daddy stayed up late last night putting together a new kitchen/fridge from Papaw and Meemaw. It only took about an hour and a half, so as construction projects go it wasn't too bad. Pretty good construction and is very sharp looking.

We got a good reaction from the kids so I thought we could post it up here. You will notice that Gracie is staring at the kitchen from the corner of her eye as soon as she comes in, but is such a camera hog she can't stand not being in the center of the viewfinder!

We also attempted a gingerbread house with less than spectacular results. But we had a good time, and the girls sampled all the ingredients as well as the house itself once it imploded at the end. My hands aren't made for delicate work...I crushed the roof trying to hold it together long enough for the frosting to set. The package says 1 minute...it's a lie!
