Christmas countdown!
With Dan gone this Christmas, it is hard to get in the mood. But I love Christmas and I really want to make it fun for Ben. So I have busted out the Christmas decorations, Christmas movies, music, books, and Santa Clause Hot Cocoa mugs! Here we go!!!
Grandma Reva gave Ben this fabulous gingerbread house as a present. We finally had some time to put it together! Benjamin loved it!
Frosting time!
A little dab a frosting here......
Putting on the final touches.......
TA DA! The final product!
While Ben and I decorated the gingerbread house and drank hot cocoa, Zachy slept in his pack n play with Christmas music playing in the background. He only woke up twice, drank his bottle, then went back to sleeping. (Note * Sheree - he's wearing his Baby's 1st Christmas onsie!) (Memory: The first time we had to take a break from decorating the gingerbread house to feed Zach, Ben got really sad and started to cry. We had just set up the house and candy, then Zach woke up. It was the first time that Ben showed annoyance with Zach interrupting his world.) 
The first Christmas decorations that came out of the box - the M/M choo coo train that Aunt Judy gave Ben last year and his Christmas bears! 
Grandma Liz and Grandpa Dennis gave Ben his advent calendar this year for Christmas! He loves counting down the days of December with yummy chocolate! 
I LOVE my Willow Tree Nativity Set!!!!!!!! Dan got me the original pieces our first Christmas in Hawaii. And then (my Mom n law) Liz gave me the camel and shepherds! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Happy boy holding a Rudolph book - I have had this book since I was Ben's age!
Hot Cocoa spillage - Ben got ahold of my hot cocoa.
Sneaky monkey drank my hot cocoa ~ I tickled him though and showed him who's boss.....
