Merry Christmas

 Mia and Cayden sleeping under the tree- Brenner was absent this year- 14 is too big to do that sorta thing you know!

 The front of the house- Beautiful!

 Fuzzy - but our tree

 Nutcrackers - the one on the end is the new "gingerbread" baker- you will see why in a bit! 

 Our Christmas Village that has gotten very large- 19 houses- we will do 20 and be done but a hospital has not come out yet for Nikki???  Very fun- we love it!

 Now this year Stacy had a great idea to enter the Festival of Trees Ginger Bread Village- we looked around and "I" came up with the idea to do the Salt Lake Temple.  WHY? Why would we take on such a project???

We started and after lots of baking, engineering, frosting making, baking, lighting, candy making, and  even more baking- we ended up with..... 

 THIS!

Wow!

Truly Beautiful and Amazing!!!

But next year- no way!

And look who showed up riding down a zip line this year! 

Much to Daddy's dismay- an elf on the shelf! And she is a Girl!

Looks like she will reek havoc and mischief around our house for the next 25 days!!!

Mia is elated!!!
