Sofia and the Bob

So, I finally took Sofia to the beautician to see what they could do to fix her "haircut"... She looked at it. Brushed it this way and that. Then after about five minutes looked at me and said, "I can't really fix it. But, I can minimize the damage and make it a little less noticeable." It turned out pretty cute. Although, I don't think the photos do it justice. make sure to check out her little ear lobes as well, because we got our ears pierced!

Gingerbread Houses...

On Saturday, the Humes family and the Smith family joined the Trapp family for some Gingerbread House Decorating. It made a huge mess! But the kiddos loved every minute of it. Secretly, Wade and I regretted not making enough houses for everyone, because it looked really fun. Here are the pics...







Here's the aftermath photo. Be warned! It's graphic. And may not be suitable for people who keep their homes really clean...

Christmas Cards

So that's what our Christmas card should look like...

But after a few hours more of fighting with the kids, through tears (usually me), wrestling (Noah & Rylan) and making faces (Sofia). We got a few good shots. Enough to construct a pretty good Christmas card. So expect them in your mailbox soon...

Santa Visit

High Mount has a Christmas fundraiser every year with Santa. So I took the crazies for pizza and crafts with Santa. Noah was more interested in running around with his friends than in either the crafts or Santa, but Sofia and Rylan loved it. Sofie wouldn't let Santa out of her sight. They even got to have their photo taken with Santa.
