Images of Christmas

I haven't posted much lately, but that isn't because we haven't been busy...busy in the living life sense of the word, not in the running ourselves ragged sense. Here are a couple of glimpses of the things we have been doing to celebrate the season. First, this is one of about 50 pictures we took in the attempt to get a card picture. This isn't the one we chose, as you will see, but it was cute because everyone was giggling. By the way, our new address is

1350 29th Street, San Diego, CA 92102. Not that I am asking for Christmas cards. Take the information however you will and just know we LOVE getting mail.
This day (after nap, obviously) we colored pictures of the nativity participants. We glued them to felt and then the kids placed them on a giant piece of felt I taped to the t.v. cabinet as I read the story from Luke. Only it was a little frustrating because the pieces wouldn't stay up there.
These were our spicy treasures (as Olivia called them). We made them to imitate the spicy treasures the wise men brought to Jesus and have been giving them to people when they come over. You boil them in a pot of water and your house smells good
This was candy cane day. We ate them, read about them, and made some for ornaments.
We made gingerbread houses with some friends. Olivia's is the front left.


I feel like the is just a bullet point post. But I didn't want to get too far behind.
