The 4th Day of Christmas is making gingerbread houses. 

Seth's gingerbread house.

Caleb and his friends Sebastian and Anthony' gingerbread house.


Jenna's gingerbread house. 

And my gingerbread house! It was a chocolate factory!

The boys eating their gingerbread house!

Mom's sugar-free gingerbread house. (Sort of. This is just within the criteria for sugar levels of less than 10 grams of sugar per serving and not 1st or 2nd ingredient sugar.)

These are Dutch waffles!

Me eating my gingerbread house!

Caleb and Dad playing Wii on New Year's Eve. 

These are our journals. We read our blessings and make goals for the new year. 




Here are our family goals!

We are using sparklers as part of New Year's Eve! 

We had a glowing balloon fight! 

We were having an unknown explosion so me and Uncle Jonathan were hiding on the far end of the table. 



Not pictured: The fire alarms went off at midnight after the power went out for a few seconds, and they woke everyone up and everyone was terrified!!

Happy New Year!
