Uncle M is in town and we are having a lot of family activities this week. Yesterday we had dinner together and tonight we had our traditional gingerbread house party. It's one of my favorite things that Two Fish's family does. We had a TON of candy and the kids all go crazy having fun together. It's a good time for everyone.
This little baby loves her grandma. She's been having fun with all these family get togethers. Little M on the right is visiting with her Dad and she is loving all the time with her crazy cousins.
Showing off the new horse Grandma gave her for Christmas. She can't just ride it normal- she has to go straight for the stunts.
Every year the cousins draw names and pick out presents for eachother. This year we had all 12 of them together to exchange their gifts. I think they were as excited as they were for Christmas morning. They have a blast giving eachother something special. It's a really sweet tradition.
Red Fish's cousin I gave her a very soft little teddy bear and a new pair of socks. Red Fish was pretty excited about the bear. He received alot of love.
Red Fish sucked the sugar off every piece of candy before she put it on the house. She had never had candy before so she was baptized by fire into the world of sugary treats. I switched to Nilla Wafers about halfway through the house so she wouldn't be on a sugar high all night.
Helping mommy with the construction 
Her beautiful house. This year everyone graduated from graham cracker houses to real gingerbread but we decided to go the milk carton route for Red Fish. I wasn't sure how long her attention would last. I think she had fun squishing the frosting with her fingers and sucking the sugar coating off all of the candy before we put it on.
Gotta love the chaos.
