Merry Late Christmas

Our beautiful real tree, this is our first year that we have gotten a real tree which we loved!

 Stephen woke up early and decorated the house with lights, all down the stairs, and the furniture in the living room

 I made red and green pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips, lets say it went over really well with Sam

 We went on to open presents, Sam decided he needed to open all the presents, he was very excited about the Twilight books I got and the Journal Stephen got along with all his fun things.

 The last big surprise present was his home made pillow pet. He now sleeps with it every night and says it protects him from scary monsters its so cute!

 Another fun surprise was a tent from Grandma and Grandpa Walker, which we set up and Sam and Dad and pillow pet had to climb right into and start reading books, it was so sweet!

 Grandma and Grandpa LeBlanc surprised us with another tent when we went to visit them Christmas day, Sam loved it and yet again Dad had to join him for a fun time.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and wonderful New Year, I know this is way late...

Gingerbread House

We made out gingerbread house today, we all had a blast getting messy and tasting all the goodies!

 Our roof kept falling down from us putting the candy on so we decided to make a flat roof, next year I think I will make the house structure first and let it harden and then we can decorate later.

 All done, Sam is very proud of it. He put all the buttons on the snow man, the mint kisses on the roof, the coins and the pretzels!

Zoo Lights

We took a fun trip to the Zoo, we went early so we could feed the birds and see some of the animals before the lights came on.

 Watching the polar bear, he was dancing and Sam was in love!

 Eating yummy elephant ear!

 Sam's favorite part was riding the train

It was such a fun trip, I don't know why I didn't take any pictures of the lights but they were very beautiful!
