On Christmas Eve morning the kids and I decided to finally decorate our gingerbread house. This was a process this year because we decided to make it from scratch which was super cool and fun but it is a several day process. First we made the dough, then let it chill. Then we rolled it out and baked the shapes. Then we had to let those cool. Then another day we made frosting and put the house together. This part could have gone smoother but it still worked out. Then we had to let it set before we could decorate it, so on Christmas eve morning it was finally ready to decorate. I think it turned out really cute!
We had fun getting ready for Christmas throughout the day, I did some cooking and the girls watched a Christmas movie, and Cruz went skiing. That night we had grammy over for homemade mac n cheese (a request by the kids). At 8 p.m. we went over to Raddons in masks to do a game of white elephant. We wanted to spend the night with them but with Covid, we just felt it wasn't safe. So we went over for a little game and kept masks on and social distances. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures!
Oh I did get this one picture. Georgia dressed up as the grinch. It was pretty incredible.
Alegra got these Elf pajamas (from Sesario) in the gift exchange. She was pretty excited about it. Lexi also was able to trade to get a basketball, which she was also super excited about. Cruz got a blanket that grammy had put in the draw. We had to wait until 8 because Sesario was working at Little Caesars that night. He went to take the trash out at work (wanting to get home to his family) when he saw a family going through the trash for food. He ran back inside and he and his buddies made the family a few hot new pizzas. He was late getting home but it made me cry hearing this story. This is the true meaning of Christmas. He is such a good boy!
