Christmas Eve a Long, Long Time Ago
I thought I'd make the gingerbread girls ahead of time this year, but, as I'm sure you can surmise from the picture below, which I snapped on Christmas Eve, that good thought didn't materialize into anything solid. Shocking, I know.
Luckily, I have nightgown-clad daughters to help roll out the dough.
I also have girls to make a big mess bigger and to play with the cookie cutters.
Faithful readers know of our Jesse Tree practices, but I didn't take any pictures of the girls' ornaments this year, except for this one. Annika labored long in order to tape that ladder heavenward and asked me to take a picture of it before we undressed the tree.
Deb came up for a bit, so I forced her to join in the annual wearing of lights.
Oh, I forgot that Joel dropped in, too, and ate Mildred's head.
Zeke wasn't impressed by light-wearing. He thought light-eating was superior, until I nipped it in the bud.
We decorated the tree in the usual whirl of chaos.
And, of course, we didn't forget to stretch our stockings...
