It feels like Christmas should be next week since we have been keeping very busy with Christmas activities since the day after Thanksgiving!
Maybe we should have waited til at least the 1st of December...
Aubs loved painting these .50 cent ornaments from Hobby Lobby and was so excited to add them to the tree. There was a tree and a candy cane... and a snowflake that I am saving for her to paint next week.

Gingerbread House decorating.
So happy about all the different colorful candies at her disposal.
She was so excited about this... It was a lot of fun...
She was a pro at eating (or as she would say "just a little taste") the candies for the gingerbread house...
The final result...
A little rough around the edges, but a lot of fun went into making it!
Showing off the adorable reindeer cookies that her buddy Atticus and his mom Cindy made!
They were delicious too!
Aubrie has been watching little clips on youtube of frosty the snowman and rudolph and can now sing the songs.
She was so excited that she got to see Santa at the mall... we just walked past and looked in on him and she was happy with that... when he waved at her she nestled her head in my neck, got shy and froze up... we'll see what happens when we take her to meet him!!!
We were walking in from buying her Christmas dress tonight and she said, "I like reindeers." I told her I did too.
She has been eating a chocolate from her advent calendar every day. Fun times.
This year has already been so much fun because she is really into holidays and it makes it so worth the time and effort to do fun things for her when you see her cute face light up!
