Gettin' Into the Christmas Spirit

Kind of random, but Sydney loves her changing table. Not so much the diaper changing or clothes changing part; it's after that that she's super happy. In fact, it's usually when she's laying there kicking her arms and legs that I'll read her stories, make silly faces, and sing to her.

Then she'll smile and coo, and sometimes even sing with me.

On the 19th, I dressed her in a cute Christmas outfit, and we went to decorate gingerbread houses with some friends.

Sydney and her cousin Alex hung out while the adults made these beauties:

Jonathan and Janil,

Eric and Dalyce,

Spencer and Me,

and Jason and Heather.

Our roof was a bit of a disappointment compared to everyone else's. In fact, Jonathan was joking that the gum drops looked like warts. Couldn't really compare to the Yearsley's front porch or the Sutherland's candy pathway leading to the front door. We still had a good time eating all the candy!
