The kids had a lot of fun making a gingerbread house again. It has become a tradition. I was very happy to find a kit that had candy that Shirley is not allergic too as well as the frosting. He was able to participate and was thrilled. Now that he is older he sure is sad when he can not join in on something. After Christmas they all enjoyed picking of the candy and eating it.
We received a little bit of snow a couple of days before winter break. It was enough to delay school for two hours. The kids had a lot of fun playing in it. (This is how dark it still is outside at 7 o'clock in the morning).
We had a church Christmas party. The kids had a blast. The favorite for Jem and Rilla (Shirley couldn't join in as he is allergic to the cookies and some frostings). Rilla was very elaborate in her decorating.
Santa even came. Shirley and Rilla loved that. Jem went and saw Santa but I think Walter felt like he was too old to.All the kids really enjoying church gatherings as they can play with the other kids. James even enjoyed it, as long as I didn't leave his sight. He doesn't really like being around lots of people and stays close to me and heaven forbid if someone tries to touch him or pick him up. That is not ok in his book.
