Typical Weekend in December

This past weekend was pretty crazy, which I think is pretty typical for a weekend in December. 

Friday night I had my work Christmas party so Gary and Lyla were on their own.

Then Saturday morning, Mom and I went Christmas shopping.  Saturday night Gary went shopping.

Sunday morning we helped Lyla make a gingerbread house.  We got the stuff out and she promptly bit off the gingerbread man's head! 





She did a really good job with it.  I was kind of surprised how good she did!  We just put a bunch of icing on and would hand her pieces of candy and she just stuck them right on! 










She was so proud of herself when she was done!  And I think that this age is so funny for pictures.  She is old enough to know that she is supposed to smile for a picture, but she doesn't really know how so it always looks painful!








Sunday evening we went to the mall to see Santa.  Well when we got there he was out feeding the reindeer so we went and walked around the pet store.




Then we got in line....



And we waited there for about an hour... we only were halfway to Santa at that point.  So we gave up and went home.  We will try another night this week!

When we got home Lyla thought it would be a good time to sit in a box and play while I got dinner together!




After that we rounded out the weekend with some of Grandma's homemade lasagna (mmmmmm)!  Then we got our baths and went to bed!

The End!
