Maybe not edible, but it's certainly a welcomed sight in our home. A house within a home, if you will.
Saturday night, Jason and Emma sat down with the makings for a gingerbread house and assembled a masterpiece. I lost track of how many times Emma asked if she could eat some of it. And now that it's done, I don't remember how many times she has said 'Mommy, didn't our gingerbread house turn out good?'.
More Christmas shopping was done. I feel pretty good about what we've done so far. There are just a few things left to buy. And of course, there's all the wrapping. Usually I wrap as I buy. Not this year. Everything is just piled up in the basement. I can see myself on Christmas Eve, cursing previous weeks me for not taking care of it.
I am looking forward to Christmas. I can't wait to have a few days off to enjoy being at home with the girls. Last year I wasn't working and I'm feeling immensely guilty for not being here more.
'Tis the Season.
