Fun at the Cabin

D and M love the Mega Blocks M got for his birthday.





Here are some more pictures of the cabin.

The kitchen.





The living room.





On Saturday, my sister and her family came up to the cabin for Christmas at the Fort at Forts Folle Avione in Danbury. They had horse drawn wagon rides, storytelling in a teepee, a campfire, time to visit Santa, food, and other activities. We had lots of fun.

A Christmas miracle! Both kids together getting their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus. M had his picture taken with Santa last year, but D has never gotten this close to him before (notice she is sitting on Mrs. Claus' lap, NOT Santa's!). She kept asking why Santa's mom was there. The concept of a Mrs. Claus was new to her.

The kids love the Little Drummer Boy movie and like to act it out.



D loves doing stickers now. She can easily entertain herself for 20 plus minutes by herself (by toddler standards, that's a long time to do anything totally by yourself).



We had D's homeschool preschool yesterday and made gingerbread houses with graham crackers and TONS of candy. We had a lot of fun and ate way too much. WAY WAY too much. Okay, maybe just I ate way too much. It was yummy and the kids had a blast.



The finished product.



Sadly, this is what it looked like a couple of hours later (see what I mean by WAY WAY too much!). D was so anxious to eat it and I didn't see any reason to just let perfectly good candy just sit there and get stale!
