Merry Christmas! To get in the holiday spirit we decided to have a gingerbread house decorating party. We baked lots of gingerbread and mixed lots of frosting and I think that they turned out pretty well. Ella invited 4 friends over and the girls LOVED it! I was blown away at how long they worked on them. We will definately have to do it again next year.
Here is Ella' friend Reaghen with her house:

Once again Ella's preschool had their Reindeer Roundup. It amazes me that they get all of the kids up on stage and to say lines and sing on cue... I can barely get mine to say please! Here is a group shot.

Ella was a present this year, there she is by the tree. And a big improvement from last year, she smiled and sang ALL of the songs!
