Gingerbread Houses and Christmas Socks

Our Christmas in Missouri was fabulous! The Burgin family has lots of fun traditions that we were able to participate in and I absolutely loved it! One of the traditions is making gingerbread houses. We had such a great time creating our houses and decorating them.
Here is our little family with our completed house.
Mark made his house look like it had been hit by a severe snow storm...it was great!







On Christmas day all the couples received knee socks from Mark. We had a great time putting them on and sporting them around the house making our own fashion statements. Thanks Mark!

Here are a few more pictures from Christmas morning. The pile behind us is all our gifts...we were way too spoiled!
Chad even got a much needed coat and a jacket to survive the Nebraska winters. He wears both of them pretty much every day now since it has been so cold here.
Teri made me this cute holiday table runners that I just love! She is so talented! This year I even got a little sewing kit for Christmas! I've never been into sewing, but I figure that now I'm not working anymore I will have some time to learn how to do a few things. I know you are all shocked. Hopefully my sewing will turn out better than my 7th grade sewing projects did. I believe I sewed a part on completely backwards and my friend had to basically finish the rest of my poor pathetic project. When I finish my first project I will be sure to post about it.

Looks like a good time! We missed you guys though! We can't wait to see your sewing projects. We know how talented you are in that area. I mean, we still talk about how amazing the "rectangle" you crocheted was. :)
