Gingerbread Party

The first part of December we got together with my family to have a Christmas Party for the kids. The main highlight was making gingerbread houses. We had dinner and then it was onto the making of houses.

We had Delphia knead the frosting white we got the pieces broken in half. Luckily the house was preassembled.



Then it was time for Daddy to pipe on the frosting so Delphia could stick the candy on. She did pretty well getting the candy on the house and not too many pieces made it into her mouth.







She sprinkled cocohut onto the ground of her house for snow and even tried to taste it. However she forgot that she doesn't like coconut and was soon scraping every piece off her tongue.



Josie sat in her highchair trying to figure out what we were doing.



The completed house.....



The completed house with it builder.



I was amazed at how well it held her attention and how long it lasted.

After the houses were done we played Christmas Bingo twice and Grandma read a Christmas story.

Temple Square

We went to Temple Square for Shane's Birthday, but we got off to a late start since Delphia had dance and I had Activity Days.

Delphia was most excited to ride the train (TRAX). She loved the train last year and has just been waiting to ride again. There were hardly any people on the way downtown and we got a seat and didn't have to worry about Phia being too noisy.



Josie wasn't too sure about the whole thing and she looked like the State Puff Marshmallow in her pink coat.

We got off the tran and got hot chocolate and wandered around Temple Square. We went in to see the Christus and had 10 minutes till it closed when Delphia announced she needed to go potty. Shane took her to the bathroom and when they got out we only had 3 minutes or so to get up the ramp. Shane took Phia up so he could do it fast. Delphia got to the top and saw the Christus and said, "Daddy, He is so beautiful!"

They came back down and we saw the nativity outside and headed back to the train. It was a short night but perfect for the 2 girls. We left around 6:00 but we didn't get home until after 11:00 with the 45 minute drive each way and then the TRAX ride.

On the way home on TRAX Delphia was goofy and started singing Ruldolph loudly and some other guy on the train started singing with her. He would say a line and wait for her to say the next line. It was pretty funny!

Josie Doll

These pictures were taked on November 28, 2010 before we headed off to church.










Laughing

Bounce

We picked up a Jenny Jump-Up for Josie and this is her first time in it. We later ended up taking it back because she really didn't like being in it and would just cry!

Hats For Sale....

Back in November I read "Hats For Sale" to Delphia. About a week later she came out with multiple hats saying that they were for sale. I got her to give one to Josie and pose for a couple pictures!





We kept trying to get a picture of Josie and she kept pulling this face.
