and the song...

and some more ...

Aah, some video ...

Then they grow all up ... sigh

My Beauty

All Grown Up

(almost)

and then there's medium

Cutting up as usual. :)

*sigh*

She's so pretty.

in my Mom's costume pearls no less.

*sigh*

It went so fast.

An entire town DEMOLISHED ...

By my precious children!

Small and Medium

The destruction was unparalleled ...

They ate most of the decorations ...

Leaving no home ...

or train untouched ...

Of course, I let them only eat off there own creations

and they mostly

stuck to that. :)

(Tall was mysteriously missing during the above photo shoot. hmm.)

We decided with the abundant amount of mice we are catching

right now (read: 3 in one day)

we had better remove any enticing food items off counters.

the Gingerbread was short lived this year,

yet,

enjoyed more, I believe.

Gingerbread Village and Trains, oh my ...

This is the top of Small's train.

He did all the detail work himself,

once Mommy piped the icing.

This year, we got a Mini village for Tall instead of 1 house.

It had more candy and different colored icing.

and each boy got a train.

This is Tall's Village!

Very detailed and creative.

"Goodnight snowman, I'll most likely eat you in the morning."

"Dread Pirate Tall"

Each house had a different cookie design.

Great accents throughout town.

The "I want sprinkles" walkway!

Snowman on right with purple border.

Nice icing scarf and buttons!

Small's Train

The "W" Car!

Medium's Train

Please note the beautiful face and

peppermint pathway!

the green icing is the grass

and the white is the snow.

Yes, those are gummy worms!

The "M" Train!

Gorgeous work!

We had a great night decorating... and then I put the children off eating it for a few days,

by not photographing until today! ha.

Yes, they pull the candy off them until they are stripped clean.

The boys will eat a few of the wheel cookies too.

Dearest Angel Baby Cadence:



Hoped for you, prayed for you, discovered you, rejoiced over you,



went to the doctor and began looking for you, were were you hiding?



A few weeks later, finally found you with ultrasound!



Saw you!



Heard and saw your heart beating!



Wept as the realization of your incorrect location sank in.



Said Goodbye.



Wept every day since.



Love & Hugs,



Brokenhearted Mommy
