Every year we are amazed at how much Emma is learning and doing, and every year we are so thankful that the Lord gave us another year w/ our special girl. This year our little family all sat down together to construct our annual gingerbread house. Yes, it is a pre-fab house, and some day Mommy might attempt to make a homemade one. But at this point, it's pre-fab for us!
Daddy put the house together and the icing on the cookies, and Emma picked out which candy she wanted on each piece. She and Mommy put the candy on all the cookies and house. We only had a couple of instances where she wanted to eat the candy, and she didn't understand why Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let her. Try explaining to a five year old that the candy in question has probably been sitting in some warehouse for the past twenty years before it was boxed up and shipped out in this package. Yuck! Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it still seems yucky to eat.
The Holbrook house wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!!!

You are much stronger than I am! I would have been right there with Emma, eating the old yucky candy. :) It looks like everyone had fun!
