Gingerbread, Bowling & Santa

 I promised the kids we'd make a gingerbread house last week. 
It was a much more difficult task than I had imagined!   

 

There was much more eating going on than decorating!
 Our finished product - looks just like the box ;)  To our credit, two of the pieces were broken when we got them out and we thought a flat roof was much more, uh, practical?!
 Chase had a sudden obsession with going bowling yesterday, so we decided to give it a try since we didn't have much else going on.  It was his first try - he was loving the shoes and his own ball.

The ramp and bumpers made it much more enjoyable.   
 Patiently waiting for his ball to come back to him.  Despite the fact we had two identical balls, he knew which one was his and it was the only one he wanted.
 Taking tips from the pro. 
 Taylor was excited to give it a try too. 
 Unfortunately for her, bowling shoes didn't come in her size. 
Fortunately for us, we didn't have to pay to rent her shoes!
 A successful roll!

 The happy bowlers.
 The final score.  Chase gave his daddy a run for it!  Maybe next time.
 Finding out the bowling alley had an arcade was like icing on the cake.  Good times.

Finally, Santa came by on the fire truck last night.  At first Chase decided he would sit by the door and scare him away with his drum.  Later he decided that he'd better go out and wave to him so Santa could see where he lived and know where to bring his presents!
 
Taylor liked waving to Santa too, but she was way too stuck to me to get a picture of her!
