It's beginning to look alot like...

Christmas! (I need to put in here that it is just looking not feeling like Christmas, it has been in the 80's and so humid that twice in the last week the air has gone on) Friday night we decorated for Christmas. Mya was quite excited and Toby thought it was pretty cool too!

Helping dad put the tree up. We only had to go searching for one piece of the tree that Toby had put in the office.

They decided to be the Christmas Tree.

Mya found the santa hats and wore it for the rest of the night. She was taking a break here for a little snack of "green soda" (7 up) and some Mike n' Ikes.

Toby only keeps his on for about 1/2 a second.

He thought the lights were pretty cool. Derek was testing them and every time they would light up he would laugh.

Supervising the lights going on.

Anyone need some lights?

Mya helping get all the ornaments out. I realize I didn't get a picture of the tree with all the lights and ornaments on but it wouldn't be an accurate picture anyways as Mya and Toby have daily re-arranged them:)

Saturday afternoon we attempted a GingerBread House.

Reading the directions...

organizing the pieces

adding the decorations

the finished product. Don't worry every type of candy was tested to see if it was good:)

That night they had Christmas on the Hill by our house. Mya loves going to the hill so when she found out there was also a Christmas tree she was very excited. About an hour before it started she had her shoes on (not sandals so the ants wouldn't eat her feet) and ask every 5 min if it was time yet. When we walked over the had bounce houses and all different types of Christmas cookies. As soon as we got through the line it started to pour so we ran home and waited for the rain to stop. We went back a little later for the carriage ride. We waited in line for an hour and a half but it was well worth the wait.

On the way back home Mya did inform us that it did not have a round top so it was not Cinderella's carriage. It was a fun weekend!
