It has become a tradition for Bug to make a gingerbread house. Here are posts from last year and the year before. This year she has become quite good at making them and it turned out great! Bug put all the candies in patterns and was very proud of doing that. When it was finished there was lots of leftover frosting. Mommy told Bug to open her mouth and squirted a bunch of icing right in! Bug thought this was halarious because it was something Mommy would never do!
Papaw was so excited to see everyone and had his usual "treasure" awaiting Bug. First thing she does when she arrives is finds Papaw's change "treasure". She then dumps it out and Papaw likes for her to sort it in piles. The weekend was full of good food, laughs and a fun trip to Santa Train. The wait was quite long in the cold but meanwhile, Mommy had some time to catch up with a good friend and her cute little family. The train was fun and took you around the park to Santa's house with hot chocolate and a visit with Santa. Then you got back on the train and took another ride to the front of the park. It was such a quick but fun weekend!
Daddy took Bug to the library Christmas party. They read Olive the other reindeer and made a christmas tree craft. Then Rudolph made a surprise appearance! On the way home, Bug told Daddy, "Daddy, I think that was just someone dressed up as Rudolph shakin their booty". Daddy thought this was so funny and laughed and laughed with her. 
Bug and Mommy went to the Children's Theatre in Columbus to see Babes in Toyland. The front row seats were great! Since Bug was very little she has always loved musicals. This one was no different. She loves when they sing and gets entranced by the performance. After the show, the next stop for Mommy and Bug was Easton Town Center. It was so cold but the horse drawn carriage rides and the carolers was beautiful. It was fun having dinner there and shopping at the fun girly stores like Justice and Claires and of course ToysRus.
