The Friday Rundown

Lots of Christmas festivities have been happening this week. 

Monday night we made our first ever gingerbread house. 

Matt got pretty serious about it and really didn't want to come out and say it, but he didn't want me to "mess up" the pattern he was making with the candy. 

Matt dripped a little icing on his finger and licked it.... Fulton saw it and hadn't realized what the white stuff was that we were playing with. He proceeded to lick his finger and his eyes just lit up. From that point on it was hard to keep his little fingers out of it. 

And here's our final product. It sits proudly on the shelf and we talk about it daily. Tuesday night I went to sister's house for her annual ornament swap. I came home with a cute one. Wednesday Fulton and I headed to our regular girl for a little hair cut. We had to get her to fix the mess that was created last month when we couldn't get in to see her and had to try another place. Lesson learned. 

Thursday afternoon Fulton had his party with his school friends. Look at these sweet little ones with their precious Mrs. Vin. They adore her, as I do too. 

Each of the little ones takes turns handing their gifts out to their friends. Fulton just stood and watched everyone open what he had given them. He was so excited. I pray we can always instill in him a heart that desires to give rather than receive. 

Here's his little potty training bud. He loves some Laylee bug. Daddy probably wouldn't want to know that Fulton carried that baby doll around a lot last night too. 

I know what you are thinking. That is the cutest thing ever--Fulton and the grill, right?! Mrs. Vin made this. She made one for Fulton and Laylee for Christmas. Yes, she made the whole thing. And my mom helped her paint the food to look like hamburgers, steaks, and cheese. It is the most precious thing I have ever seen. Fulton thinks he is big stuff and he will be cooking dinner next week!!
