Today was a very Christmas-y day! After church, lunch, and nap, the girls and I decorated gingerbread houses. I found a great set with five small gingerbread houses at Target last year, and we bought it again this year. So each of us had our own house to decorate. We supplemented the candy in the kit with some of our own. And I must say we made some mighty fine houses. We still need to set them up all together. (Maybe that will be tomorrow's pic!)
After some Pizza Hut pizza, we loaded up the Suburban and went to look at Christmas lights. Our first stop was a nearby house that has an amazing show set to music! They do a fantastic job, and at the same time, they present the true meaning of Christmas. We then drove to a group of three houses in the country owned by members of the same family. The pictures at the top are from those houses. Our favorites are the oak trees. We drove through a local park that had some fun lights, and then we saw a few more neighborhoods. We finished the evening with our traditional "Christmas light looking" (as the girls call it) snack: ice cream. This time from McDonald's because they girls like their McFlurries, and they have a small size that only costs a dollar. Faith and I really wanted a Chick Fil A milkshake, but, of course, they're closed on Sunday, so we had to make do with a McDonald's shake. It was good, but not as good as Chick Fil A.
Now it's bedtime, and since we still have a week of school before we take a break for Christmas, I had better get some girlies tucked in!
