Christmas Count Down

For Christmas weekend we went to Taylor to spend time with Gordon's family. We had a GREAT time - probably one of our best visits EVER! We started off by riding horses with Nana, playing Dance Mania, made gingerbread houses (a Palmer Family tradition), went to Ava's Mexican Resturant for dinner, stopped by to visit G&G Palmer and Sunday enjoyed a delicous pancake & bacon breakfast before heading to church for a wonderful musical Christmas program. It was freezing cold but a great way to get in the holiday spirit!!! Thanks Palmer Fam for a GREAT time!!

Gordon & Mya riding Pearl. Mya REALLY likes to feed the horses carrots




Mya making her first gigerbread house - she wanted to unwrap ALL of the candy before sticking it on the house - I stuck a wrapped piece on & Mya removed it licked the frosting off the back, unwrapped it & stuck it back on. She loved eating the candy too - we all do it's one of the best parts & Gordon's mom buys the good stuff & makes the gingerbread herself!


Daddy showing us how it's done - he DOES have about 30 years experience!!


The gingerbread gang (not all pictured but those participating: Mandi, Trayton, Kade, Jordynn, Kent, Kassy, Ashton, Kim, Kayleen, Nana, Gordon, Nicole, & Mya)




The finished product - it's hard to tell but Gordon's house is very well landscaped in the front!

So fun! Wish we could have been there. And Mya did a great job on her gingerbread house, probably better than Gordon's! And she also looked adorable in her Christmas dress. We love you all! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Your houses look great. Maybe one day i will grow some more patience and get to do some landscaping on a gingerbread house. Love the Christmas dress too. Also what fun memeories Mya is creating riding a horse. I think Pierson would LOVE THAT!

Glad you had fun in Snowflake! Isn't Ava's just the best ever? YUM. Mya looked beautiful in her Christmas dress! Your Christmas looks like fun too, how nice that Camille could come out! K got a kitchen set too, must be the cool gift! Maybe Mya can teach Kyndal how to cook so she stops microwaving her cars,,,
