UIL
At the beginning of the month Ainsley and Kaylee participated in their UIL competitions. This year Ainsley competed in Music Memory while Kaylee revisited Storytelling. They both practiced hard, and they both took home first place medals. We were pretty proud of them!
Christmas Tree Farm
Landon went back to the pumpkin farm on a field trip, but there weren't any pumpkins this time. There were lots of Christmas trees! His class chopped down a tree and brought it back to school where they put it up in their classroom and decorated it. It was a weirdly hot December day (that's Texas), so he was running around in shorts and a t-shirt. He picked out his green and red Christmas colored clothes himself.

Gingerbread Houses
Today we decorated gingerbread houses. I was going to try to make the gingerbread for the houses, but then I found my sanity and bought a bunch of graham crackers instead. Even without the homemade gingerbread, they still turned out cute. It's crazy that Christmas is coming in just a few days. Here's to a relaxing Christmas break . . . I hope!

The gingerbread houses are cute and the pictures even cuter. I hope the next two weeks are relaxing!
December was crazy for us too. I can't even remember if I sent you a Christmas card, I had seperated one for your family and was going to deliver it with some treats because you are still one of my favorite people even though we aren't in the ward anymore. But then we ran out of time and I had to mail off a bunch. Anyway, in case you didn't get it. I hope you are having a great Christmas!
Love your gingerbread houses! You guys are so creative with them, we just do plain ole' houses. And trying to get good pictures of the kids these days is just ridiculous! You'd think it would be easier with older kids, but it's not. Your card was cute, though!
