Full Swing!! (part one)

CHRISTmas is in FULL swing at our house. This week we have made a Gingerbread house, Gone to Botanical Gardens to view Galaxy of Lights, had Miller's Christmas party, and went on a train ride. WHEW!!! What a great time we have had but I have to be honest I am looking forward to staying in on this cold rainy day to catch up on some blogging and a little housework!

We began the week of Christmas activities by going to the Botanical Gardens to view Galaxy of Lights. Miller LOVED all the lights!! Actually we all really enjoyed the lights. We went with my parents and sisters. It will defiantly be a yearly tradition. It was the PERFECT night!! The temps were in the low 70's- high 60's so we were able to leave the windows open. Miller's favorite part of the light tour was hanging out the sun roof.

On Tuesday my Sister helped my Mom's first grade class make Gingerbread houses. She brought the left overs to our house to help Miller make his very first Gingerbread house too. It was very simply to construct. She took a small milk carton and attached graham crackers to the carton using icing. Once the house was constructed they used icing to attach candies until they had achieved the look they were after. At first this is all Miller wanted to do....

Then he realized it was fun to help decorate.
