We Caught the Gingerbread Man!!

On Monday for F.H.E. we made gingerbread houses with our friends the Cowans (Jeremy and Krista). We bought the kits with pre-cut pieces of gingerbread, it came with frosting and candy too. It was a lot of fun... and really yummy! We were all sick afterwards from all the candy we ate... yay for Family Home Evening activities!

"Blonde's Have More Fun"?

To find out if blonde's really do have more fun, Melissa decided to test the theory for herself... She has dyed her hair a lot over the years, but hadn't ever tried going blonde, so she got it in her head that she wanted to try it out to see if it worked. Try everything at least once right?? The blonde hair didn't last long though (about 5 days) because Sean didn't like it too much and Melissa felt a little too fake... so she's back to brown and still having as much fun as ever!! Here are some pictures from the experiment:

Oh Christmas Tree...

So this is what you get when you don't pay for a Christmas tree...life gives you lemon so you make lemonade!! It's kinda 'Charlie Brown-ish' but brings Christmas joy...anyhow. We got our tree from the "Giant Used Car Tent Sale" at Qualcomm Stadium because Sean is in the military--gotta love those perks! It was quite the drama getting it packed into the trunk of the Focus, but we all made it home no worse for wear. Another tree saved from the paper mill...at least until January! Merry Christmas everyone!!
