Our First Gingerbread House

Today Annabelle & I made our first gingerbread house. We started with a kit and I made some additional icing and added some more candy (as you can tell, we had lots of candy!). Annabelle had a good time decorating her gingerbread house. Our Christmas tree is up too, it's loaded with ornaments this year, I think we might need a bigger tree next year!

Fruit Trees

Some pics of the fruit trees. Lemons, grapefruit & oranges are ripe this time of year!

Turkey Time - Gobble Gobble

Thanksgiving was a success! I cooked a turkey, pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, potato casserole & dinner rolls. Everything was delicious and we had a very nice first Thanksgiving in the Valley. I am most thankful for my wonderful husband & little girl!

And...The Cake

Annabelle is 3!

Loving the Zhu Zhu

Annabelle kissing her new Zhu Zhu Hamster, she says he's her favorite gift! Haha!
