Look Who's Sitting on Santa's Lap!

Santa Claus is coming to town and well, he's already at the mall! ...lol! When Akesha was young she hated Santa. She has no desire to sit on Santa's lap or even glance at him. However, this year we finally got to convinced her to take a picture with Santa. She was very anxious while waiting for her turn, and I saw how nervous she was....lol! I am glad she brought "Sophie" with her. She agreed that she will only sit on Santa's lap if Sophie can come with her....lol! BTW, Sophie is her favorite stuffed animal.

Photo was taken a couple of weeks ago. I was not allowed to take a picture using my camera. Since it was Akesha's first time and we wanted the photo badly, we paid $20.00....weeeeeeee!

Gingerbread House Kit

I saw this cute felt gingerbread house in an online store several weeks ago, and thought of getting one for Akesha. I have never tried making a ginger bread or a ginger bread house before. Have you ever made a ginger bread house before?

Last night when we went to the grocery store to get something for dinner, I saw a box of ginger bread house kit. Oh my! Only one box left? I am glad we got the last box....lol! Hubby and I thought that we are going to make the ginger bread house this weekend. Akesha was so excited when we bought it. She can't wait for the weekend.
