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!!!
