Lots of Holiday Fun!

We love Christmas time here at the Hacker House. Everybody has been busy with holiday related activities. Here is a few pictures of what we have been doing the past week:

Keira and I made cut out Christmas cookies. She used an ENTIRE thing of colored sugar to decorate them ... uuuhh, yum?!?

Wade and Keira built this lovely Gingerbread house. Wade said the frosting the kit came with was super gross ... Keira didn't seem to notice!

The Parks and Rec department here put on a Candy Cane Hunt. So Keira got to go outside and search for Candy Canes and then come back in for prizes! Santa also visited and their were crafts and cocoa and cookies. It was a lot of fun. This was Mallory's first visit with Santa. She wasn't too impressed. She was ok with looking at him and there were no tears, but she really wanted nothing to do with him holding here - In this pic she is trying to wiggle her way out of the chair.



This is Mallory being bashful with Santa - which is really ridiculous because she is not at all shy!

Keira and Daddy making Candy Cane Reindeer.

Mallory enjoying a cookie at the candy cane hunt. She somehow got ahold of an entire cookie and was NOT letting go! Hey, it's Christmas, right?!?

I hope you are all enjoying the season. I am thankful for no snow yet. Yippee! It has been quite chilly. I traded in my flip flops for a pair of those line crocs. For the record, yes, they are the most hideous things I have ever seen, but they keep my feet warm and I can just slide them on and go. Some days there just isn't even enough time to tie my shoes!

We have a school christmas program and a christmas ballet recital coming up, so those should produce some good pictures! Talk to you soon!
