We waiting for Kai to return from school before we started most of our traditions so our window was shorter than normal. Still, I think we will squeeze everything in… gingerbread houses and cutout cookies are complete. Next up is Christmas eve and making porridge for the reindeer after a fondue dinner.
Getting ready to decorate the gingerbread houses
This year Kai and Crystal teamed up on one house and Nora and Ben worked on the other.

Kai's allergies get cumulatively worse when he is back home with the dogs
Was shopping and came across the “Pie Face” game. Basically load up the hand with a dollop of whipped cream and take turns turning the handle until the spring is randomly triggered and one (un)lucky person gets a handful of whipped cream in the face. Loads of messy fun.
