Don't take my picture

Anticipation gripped Sophia all day while she waiting patiently for to build our gingerbread house. Who knew they were so complicated? Will was 100% into building a well formed/framed home able to withstand an attack from the Little Friendly Wolf AKA the Big Bad Wolf.

Neither Sophia nor I had the patience to build a masterpiece and we began throwing mini Spree like candy on the roof to help along the decorating. It was fun watching the roof slide off and trying to save it for just ONE picture.

Our plan is to save it and eat it on Christmas day. That's going to be this coming Saturday in our house. Kind of crazy, I know, but Sophia understands that on a certain night Santa comes into the house and fills up her stocking and leaves her the doctor kit and new doggy that she's asked him for. For those of you wondering if she knows anything beyond the Santa Christmas theme. The answer is yes. Thanks to the Wiggles Sophia knows about the woman named Mary who has a baby boy. I think she knows Christmas is his birthday.

Anyway, I'm flying to Pittsburgh with the girls on the 17th. Will is driving up with Sadie on the 20th and we'll be celebrating Christmas with the Tereks. We're all leaving PA on the 23rd and driving to Northern VA for celebrate Christmas with the Alexanders. It's going to be jam packed and really fun.
