Santa and Ginger bread houses

Yesterday we took the boys to see Santa at the mall. Avery did way better than he has the last 2 years, he sat on Santa's lap and talked to him. All he wanted to do was tell Santa "I am that hero!" and sing him a song. He didn't sing a song but he proudly shouted the hero line. He's pretty funny.Jack was excited to see Santa, exclaiming "Santa!" every few minutes, but as soon as we put him on Santa's lap he flipped. Pretty cute. :)After Santa we went to Andy's brother Jon's house for a family dinner and gingerbread houses (which were actually graham cracker houses). Avery kept calling them Gingerbread Man Houses. He was very excited to make one!
Andy helped Avery make his, Avery picked the candy and where to put it. He loved it.Jack ate graham crackers the whole time, and I watched and took pictures. It was a fun night, and to top it off we saw some pretty Christmas lights on our drive home!

Fun! I love the "gingerbread" houses. What a super good idea. I would never have thought of using graham crackers.

That's hilarious that Avery just wanted to sing!

Sometimes I still hear Avery's little voice in my head saying "I am that hero!". I love how he squeaks at the end!
