A FULL DAY OF FUN...

Scott played hookie from work today and we packed it in. We started the day out running a few errands - then started towards North Park Mall to see the train exhibit - little did we know ALL of Dallas was going to be there too. So we wandered the mall had lunch at Corner Bakery and said No to the trains - line way too long - and headed back. We decided to go see Twilight at the movies (Scott hadn't seen it and wanted to see what all the hype was about). The first time I saw it was before I read the book and absolutely loved it - this time I realized after reading the book how much the movie was actually missing - but still loved it the second time. From there we came home and that's where the fun began - we started baking gingerbread man cookies, decorated our gingerbread house, made banana bread, and made my cakes for my Santa that I will be decorating tomorrow - WOW! - I almost feel domesticated - my family is going to freak out when I show up with all these goodies on Wednesday. scott was a trooper - he decorated all the cookies and they looked great and he was in charge of holding the house together while it dried. Brooklyn was in charge of placing candies where she wanted them and I was in charge of clean up - my favorite.


And we are done - The "Best" Gingerbread House EVER! as Brooklyn says.
