Sleepover
We decided that since most of my siblings wouldn't be around for Christmas that we would get together and exchange family gifts on the 23rd. We also planned a cousin's sleepover for the night before since I thought it would be fun to do gingerbread houses. All of the older cousins are girls, so it would have been 6 of them if sickness hadn't struck and kept three home. Kim had a great time with Lauren and Brailynn though. They had a hard time going to sleep all snuggled up in the hide-a-bed together. The next day I made gingerbread for houses and the girls had fun putting them together and decorating them. Everyone made it for dinner and the family gift exchange, except my sister Mindy in Utah with her husband and new baby. My brother Calvin made cute boxes for the kids. They love carrying them around. We are also looking forward to getting the shelf that he stained for us and we enjoyed the salsa Terra Jo made. After that crazy night. Christmas Eve with Grandpa Payne, Uncle Ed and Aunt Jean, and Tara and Karleigh seemed really quiet.

So cute!!! Thanks for sharing those pictures! I loved seeing and hearing about the Christmas adventures and am sad that we missed them!
Ditto from Grammy. I think it's wonderful that you're providing your children with so many wonderful memories of family activities. Baking gingerbread houses is a lot of work, but it looks like they really enjoyed it. Good for you for being willing to put forth the effort.
Looks like you had a great Christmas. Your kids are getting so big. Sometime when you get extra time when you are in AZ give us a call. I know it is tough when you are with your family. Until we see you again, I love looking at your blog.
I am glad that you guys got to come for christmas it was fun and i know the girls loved the sleep over.
