Gingerbread Houses

OK... so they are not really gingerbread. Cameron wasn't feeling well the day of his preschool party so he missed making one at school so we made graham cracker houses at home. They had fun putting on the candy.

Frosty the Snowman

We finally got enough wet packing snow today to make a snowman. The kids had fun helping to build it.

Candy Cane Lane

A long standing Henderson tradition....the making of Candy Cane Cookies. The holiday would not be complete without them.

Winter Wonderland!

So we finally had our first big snow storm of the season. The kids decided that they wanted to go out and try to build a snowman this afternoon. Unfortunately, the snow was total powder and would not stick together so they had to improvise and find other ways to play in the snow.

Jorie, Cameron and Julia having fun in the snow!

Cameron's birthday cake made of snow!


Cameron wanted to go sledding so we found the sled and tried sledding down our tiny hill!

Ready Set Go!

Watch out here I come!

Whee!

It worked pretty good once they got a packed down trail. Next time we will find a bigger hill!

Deck the Halls!

Cameron has been counting down the days until we could put up the Christmas tree. As soon as breakfast was over Friday morning, the tree trimming began. As John and I struggled with the lights, Cameron and Jorie pulled everything else out of the totes.

There were only a few places where there were multiple ornaments on a branch.

Pose for a picture Cameron!

Mom and Jorie getting out the decorations.

Teamwork!

Putting up the lights outside!

Oh I am so much help!

One, Two, Three?

Cameron has been asking for another baby for over 6 months. In the spring he told the neighbor we were having another baby. He was making toys for the baby during one of my parents visits.

WELL..... he has finally convinced his Mom (and Dad) that it is time. We will have a new little Hutton in Mid-April. We are so excited, but Cameron and Jorie the most. Cameron has started telling everyone (much to my chagrin!)
