Our very own gingerbread house.
We made the snowman and Santa a few years ago. Handy husbands are so....well, handy!
We had a yard sale on Saturday and I couldn't believe how well my kids handled it. I thought they would be trying to sneak things back in the house but they didn't. Actually, I let them help label things with price tags so they were eager to find things to put out. We ended up making almost $300.00. That means we had too much junk and as I look around there is still more junk we could have sold!
We started our yard sale at 6am because Alyson had to be at the soccer field at 1 pm for her last tournament. She did well and even scored a goal. This was it for the season. I am so impressed with the progress Alyson has made with soccer this season. Her coaches are great! They coach for the love of the game and not out of parental obligation. Neither one of these guys has a child, niece, granddaughter or any relative playing on the team.
Coach Larry and Coach Al with Alyson. Impressive,right? I know I would never be that generous.That's Alyson in the purple. Man, I wish my camera had a better zoom!
Every year Aaron's Aunt Jamie does a Christmas video of the entire Gifford family (88 members thanks to Aaron's grandma and grandpa Gifford). She puts it to music and we are assigned different parts of a song. This year Aaron and I were assigned "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause." It's a lot of fun to watch the video and see all the different pictures.
Well, I would like to say I have all my Christmas shopping done, but I can't. I am running out of time but it will have to wait because the girls and I are going to Disneyland for a few days. We were able to land some free passes so off we go! Dad will have to stay home this trip because he has an important job, I guess. Sorry Dad!

Thats a very cute gingerbread house. That's awesome about your yard sale. We should probably have one because we have alot of stuff we could get rid of, but I am just too lazy to do it. We will have to find a time that Jaidyn and Alivia can get together and play.
Cute gingerbread house. I'm grateful for a handy hubby too.
I want a gingerbread house!!! How cool is that!
That Gingerbread house is awesome! I didn't even think to make our own Christmas decorations.
I think it's funny that you are up on the ladder a couple steps and you are just barely Aaron's height. Cute picture!
Dude...I'm coming to steal the Gingerbread house...too cool.

Tell ya what! You can have the gingerbread house after Christmas and take it with you! LOL! We are not going to try and store it.
That is so cute. You are more than welcome to put that handy husband of yours to work and make me one! ;-) Thanks for the comment. Yes Mike took the family shot and the one of James and I but I took the ones of my kiddos. It was lots of fun and very beautiful up there!
I am so impressed by the gingerbread house! Wow. Props! I love seeing handy-dandiness.
