We've been busy celebrating the Christmas Season this week. I read the Christmas Story to Crosby and pulled out a little nativity scene to help tell the story. He has thoroughly enjoyed playing with the nativity scene and trying to tell the story himself. One night last week, Andy and Stacy were over and I asked Crosby to tell them the names of all the people. He thought about it for a moment and then said, "their names are BREAKABLE!" Perhaps I've reminded him a few too many times that we should play with them gently.
We also put a Christmas tree up last week. Kelby really wanted to go back to Penland's Tree Farm where we've been the past several years. However, between his traveling and the rain it just wasn't looking good for Penland's so I coerced him into just going to Lowe's this year. He begrudingly went along with it but grumbled throughout the process and then made us sing Christmas songs in the Lowe's Garden Center as we selected the perfect real/fake/almost dead Christmas tree. :-) In the end, we have a decent tree that will work for a few weeks and then we'll go back to Penland's next year. :-)
On Saturday night, we made our first gingerbread house together. Kelby and I, being the control geeks that we are, went into this expecting to create the most fabulous little gingerbread house. Needless to say, Croz had other plans. Only a few minutes into the project I realized this little house wasn't going to look the way I'd hoped. So, we handed the candies over to Croz and just made sure there was enough goop on the roof to keep everything in place. We did add our own creative touches to the mix. It was a grand time for all!
