Gingerbread Houses

We made gingerbread houses at the Crabtree's house yesterday!

Doug made the sports court he wants to build at our house.

Here's a close up picture of it. It wasn't very stable so he'll have to do some redesigning for the real thing :)

This is my house! I used some of every decoration available at our table:)

Cam gave Tucker a ponytail with his ears...

Jordan spent a long time building his house.

Which turned out to be a Christmas Tree!

It was fun having Leilani join us this year! Her house was amazing! Everyone kept commenting that Jackson doesn't usually put so much effort into his houses and that he was trying to impress her. He didn't disagree :)

Coleman, Ashlee, Doug

Leilani, Grandpa, Konrad

Jackson, Kenzie, Leilani

Kimber and JJ. They're having a baby girl in April! JJ made a pool with the baby floating in it :)

Kenzie's again. I hadn't got a close up of the front. Her snowman was so cute!

Everyone pointing to (or holding) their gingerbread houses (except Doug who was talking to our realtor.) My mom was there too, but she didn't build a house. She did take this picture though!

Christmas Cookie Decorating

On Sunday we decorated cookies at the Crabtree's. It was a great time!

Kimber, JJ, and Alli are all in town for Christmas so it was extra fun!

Ornament Party

Kenzie and I went to the Crabtree's ornament party on Saturday. We had a lot fun!

I ended up with the ice cream and Kenzie got the cowboy boot.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We finally decorated the Christmas trees on Saturday. Doug often working around the house and yard and Kenzie and Jackson are often busy so it was hard to find a time to do it. The trees look great!

Coleman put the star on the real tree this year! The first couple attempts didn't go so well though because the tree was too tall.

Doug trimmed the top.

And it finally fit!

Kenzie put the star on the fake tree.

Tennis Tournament

Jackson and Leilani signed up to play mixed doubles in a tennis tournament at BETC. They lost their first (and only) match, but played great! It was a lot of fun to watch them!

 

Defy

Kenzie, Coleman, and I went to Defy on Friday one last time before out membership expires. We had a great time!

Coleman has never liked this, but he tried it again and loved it. He was wondering why he didn't like it before. I reminded him he only started liking bigger rides last year and he probably hasn't tried it since then.
