This is Eric's revised picture

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We did but we wished we could be with family and I wished for some snow. We tried taking a picture of all of us together and this was the only one that Preston smilied in so don't mind my crazy face in the back. If you haven't noticed, take a look at Preston's bump on his forhead. We were over at a friends house on Christams Eve and one of the kids (3 years old) picked up Preston and lost balance or something and hit his head on a dresser. We are not sure exactly what happend because they were playing in another room and a 3 year old told us what happened. She came up to me and said the he was picked up then thrown. I didn't get to worried or upset I new I had to first go see the scene of the crime.

Anyway here are some pics from our Chirstmas. Hope you enjoy them.

Thanks you for all of the gifts that were sent. Preston loves them.

He started to get the hand of opening the presents. He opened about two right when he woke up then we had to stop to eat breakfast.

Preston got a late birthday present form his cousin Rylee. Thanks Rylee!

Here is a short video of Preston opening a gift

It's that time of year again. I only wish there was snow. I have been getting in the Christmas mood by making crafts and listening to Christmas music. But Eric is being a bah humbug by not letting me play music when he is home. He did help me put a gingerbread train together. (My family sent) He did the construction work and put it together and I did the decorating. Preston tried to help, but he kept breaking it instead of helping. I think I will let him distroy it after Christmas.

I have been in a really craftly mood for Christmas. I only wish that there was a micheals craft store. I find a craft I want to do and I can't find anything for it. It can be very frustrating!!

My first project (that I knew I could accomplish) was to make a gingerman wreath. I didn't want to make them edible because I knew I wasn't going to eat them so it would have been a waste of better and eggs. So I made them out of cinnamon, applesauce, and glue. I thought it turned out great

I then decided the make the gingermen for the tree. I made salt dough for the tree because the other mixture didn't make that much for a lot of cinnamon. Preston has learned pretty quickly not to tuch the ornaments. He will get close to the tree then look over his shoulder to see if anyone is watching. It's really cute.

I turned our picture frames into the word joy. I put all of our gifts or should I say Preston's gifts on top of the tv. I knew no matter how many slaps on the hand he would still want to get into the gifts.

I was a little creative with this wreath. I a bush by our house and attached them with wire. I was really proud of this one.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Chirstmas season!!
