A Halloween Christmas...

Christmas is so close & we can hardly wait! We’ve had a busy weekend full of Christmas Fun!! Saturday we spent the day decorating Christmas houses and baking treats. Now…you may notice these aren’t your “typical” Christmas Gingerbread houses. These are actually Chocolate Cookie houses…and they may or may not be ment for Halloween décor. Once you throw out the ghost & bats and add in some colored icing and candy…who can really tell the difference? I’ll tell you who can’t…the Brandt kids ;) The kids seemed quite content to decorate & quality test the candy decorations. Gav didn’t want to decorate at first, but the girls were having a blast and tempted him to join in! He did steer clear of all baking activities though. Luckily Auntie Mikey came over to lend a hand. Let me just say…making rice krispie treats into shapes is WAY harder than it looks. I’ve scratched it from the list of activities I’ll do again…the cookies however, were definitely a hit!

Friday night he had 4 friends spend the night & though I had a mini stroke over a legitimate offer to spray paint part of our outside storage area, the boys had a blast. Gavin is really hung up on  Guthrie's  right now so we started the evening out with Guthrie's for dinner & then John, begin the brave (insane) loaded all the boys up and took them to see Ice Age.  They returned home with plenty of energy to burn & spent the rest of the evening playing outside and having video game battles. Thanks to my saint of sister who kept the girls, it was a boys only zone, and was undoubtably outnumbered.  The next morning, though they were up VERY late,...

 The girls had their church Christmas Program this weekend. They performed at both morning services and were equally amazing each time around! They've been practicing for the mast few months, and all their hard work most definitely paid off.
