Gingerbread and the Nutcracker
We hosted our annual Gingerbread house decorating party yesterday. It was a fun time. This year the dads didn't evacuate the premises as they usually do. In fact, they made themselves very useful. One mom was on bed rest, so her husband was the main subcontractor on their kids' gingerbread construction project. And I actually had to run to the AT&T store with Tess to buy our new iPhones before the store closed and Stephen had to fly out to Seattle (today) without his new phone. So Stephen took over gingerbread duties with Alicia for that 45 minute period.
I snapped a few photos of the construction process prior to departing. You can see them in this photo album:
I've also just uploaded some photos from the Thanksgiving Day activities. Those can be found here:
This morning the girls and I are headed to church where Alicia will attend Christmas pageant practice. She's going to be an angel in the play.
Actually, both the teens are sleeping over at a friend's house as they both went to the Cotillion dance in Anchorage last night. But they'll meet us at the church.
Stephen will be flying to Seattle today for a weeklong training. So he'll miss church. He's busy packing his bags and looking forward to playing with his new phone. Don't worry, we got him the super sturdy phone case.
After church, the girls and I will go to see the Nutcracker at the Alaska Performing Arts Center in Anchorage. It should be a nice day.

I vote for the first gingerbread house, as it is very artistic and the second one because it is very neat and has a good doorway entrance? Me Mom
The second one is Alicia's. You'll notice that one side of her roof is identical to Mallory's house right next door. Alicia wanted it to be just the same. :o)
