Christmas Eve 2011

Ah, yes, the annual gingerbread house was constructed this year on Christmas Eve.
There was mostly eating, and a little decorating...
One for the house, two for his mouth!
 This was a gingerbread village, so it had little people you could decorate and place in front of the house.
 or just look at while you are eating...
and snacking on candy...
Voila!  As soon as he finished, Dean asked if he could eat the candy off the house.  You know, because he was holding back while he was decorating...

 Later that day, after dinner and a bath, we set out cookies for Santa and his crew.
We had chocolate chip and peppermint sugar cookies (that Dean helped make that afternoon), elf food (chocolate morsels, mini marsh-mellows and raisins) and carrots (for the reindeer).

Dean went off to bed easily with visions of sugarplums dancing in his head.  Why?  Because after all that sugar, he was probably hallucinating.  Kinda explains the Nutcracker Story a little better, doesn't it??
