Christmas Lights and Gingerbread houses

We got to go to a couple fun things this holiday season to help put us in the Christmas spirit. One of them was to go to a Live Bethlehem that a church about 20 minutes away put together. On the way home we decided to catch a fun home that is known for their lights and the kids enjoyed seeing that and being with friends. Unfortunately, right before we got their a child had gotten hit by a car and was killed so there was a lot of ambulances and life light as we pulled in. The kids tried not to be too distracted, but it was very sad.

Here was the entrance into the small Bethlehem exhibit. 

I really love Christmas lights and looking at them. I'm always sad at the end of the season when they are gone. 

We got to spend time with our friends the Clarks and the Browns. They are wonderful families! 

Three great dads with cute kiddos!

The Sunday before Christmas we made gingerbread houses as Cavin had been begging to. He loves to work on them.

As in years past, the girls did one and the boys had one. The girls is on the right and boys on the left.

Channing had a girl on the back of hers that represented her. She had "orange" hair ;) haha. We love Christmas traditions!
