New Years Eve-gingerbread house

This Christmas holiday was crazy, tiring and balancing the gatherings with extended families and doing our own thing. There many things that we weren't able to do. Dexter everyday kept asking when we were going to do our gingerbread house. On New Years Eve he asked again about our gingerbread house. So we whipped out the kitchen aid and made a gingerbread house. I was almost embarrassed about our house and knew some would frown on it. It came together so perfectly. Lucy and Dexter made this my favorite house ever made.

Stockings

Dexter woke up at 8am ready to go. He had to wait until 1030 for all the adults to begin presents. Our stocking have gotten quite traditional and big so we have santa bags instead.

Our Boston family that will probably not have ugly kids.

Christmas Loot

Here is the Christmas Loot, our mornings are kind of embarrassing and takes forever. But when you have 13 people and 10 of them adults this is what you get. (Oh and single adults) It takes us hours to follow the orange tradition

Santas Cookies

Dexter set out Santa's cookies and made him strawberry milk

Dexter was so excited about Santa. He explained to me that Santa is not tired on Christmas eve because the elves are the ones that are making and wrapping all the toys. Its actually on Christmas that he is so tired from delivering all the presents. Smart kid
Dexter uses the word actually all the time

Huge tear for how cute this is. Lorraine is beaming.

This child has the biggest affect on our hearts.
