I wanted to add a picture of our gingerbread house. It's pretty rough looking. As you can see, I don't decorate edible things well. The boys helped a lot with it.
Below are two of my favorite holiday photos. The first is a sign from Callaway Gardens about keeping kids at hand. As a mom of three boys 5 and under, I appreciate children being 'in line'. The next is the back of a can of cranberry sauce (the jellied kind). It directs you on how to maintain the shape of the can when getting the cranberries out. Who actually puts this much thought into the shape of jellied cranberries? I just mash them up...
Well, the holidays are wrapping up - although we are still in the 12 Days of Christmas. We are moving the three kings closer and closer each day to the manger scene. They are in the foyer. Jesus, Mary and baby Jesus are in the den. That's quite a trek when you're only five inches tall.

Too funny! The gingerbread house looks great - I didn't even attempt one, did a gingerbread tree instead!
You are better with the 12 days than I am - all my decorations are taken down and put back in storage until next year!
ROFL! The cranberry thing is too much. I bet Christmas was a ball at the Burke house. Can't wait until next year when Cooper actually cares about the present instead of eating the bows.
The blogging is great! This way you won't forget all the cute little stories you tell! Me, I read an article today that said once you hit 30 the brain begins to shrink...well by now mine is really the size of a pea and I can't remember ANYTHING...except some really GREAT people, and their blogs make my day!!!!! Thanks for sharing your lives with me! You are and have a beautiful family!
