One thing I so look forward to each year after Thanksgiving, is gingerbread house making. My amazing Grandma has made, from scratch, gingerbread house pieces for us to glue together. We have been doing this since I can remember. All of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins get together and bring loads of candy and goodies that they want on their house. My Grandma brings the house pieces that she had previously cooked and all the ingredients for the rock hard frosting, that taste super good. I don't know what the frosting is called, other than when it starts to dry, which is fast, it hardens.
Its so fun! This was Ty s second year making one, he actually help place candy on the house. Even though he took a bite or two out of the candy. I think that was his favorite part, Candy!!

| This is Tys house, half eaten candy corn. I had to constantly replace the red star on the tree top, because I would put it on and it would disappear. Ty ate them. We originally had a pound of coconut on there because Ty had fun just pilling handful's on it, with out me knowing. Oh, and half eaten Tootsie rolls and gumdrops. :) Well I have finished up Christmas shopping for Ty and Tom, just need to grab a few things for the parentals. Also, I basically finished up my moms Christmas shopping for the kids. AND I have basically wrapped everything there is to wrap at this point. Lets just say in 4 weeks, crossing fingers, this baby boy will be home for Christmas with all of us! So I just wanted to make sure everything Christmas has been wrapped and ready for Christmas Day! Before this kid comes! Tom and I are great. Toms working a new job. Just living the life of a pregnant woman, haha. Even poor Tom, hes so good to me though. Being 9 months pregnant is taking its toll finally. I m tired and moody, most days. I m just done. Ty is such a funny boy! Hes grown tall! He knows how to put on his shirts and shoes. He loves the snow and his snow boots! Right now his favorite things to watch are Disney's Brave and Scooby Doo. His words are starting to turn into sentences, " Whats this?" and " I don't know.". When you ask him where someone or something is. He knows when its bed time, there's no getting outta bed till morning. He loves to sing songs. Hes very smart, we have basically kicked the sippy cups, no problem. The laundry is not just moms job anymore, hes super good at helping put things in the washer and dryer. Angry birds is no match for Ty, he knows how to get the birds to fly. Just not in the right direction. Lets just say hes growing up, is lovable and has some attitude. We can't wait till our other little boy is here to join us. We are anxious to meet him and love him. Can't wait to see what color of hair he will have and if he will be the opposite of Ty and be a hell raiser. Maybe I will get lucky and he will be a calm child like Ty. Thats it for now! Till Christmas Rolls in and I have this boy! |
