Candy!

 On Monday our housing complex had a "gingerbread" house-making activity. The girls had a lot of fun.

 Emma carefully selected the best-tasting graham crackers.

 Hard at work on the house.

 Ta-Da! Naomi may have had some help. ;) She did a great job with the frosting, though, and she added all the m&ms herself.

That night the girls put out their shoes so Black Peter could come! This is a tradition that Kurt grew up with, so I don't really know the back story, but on the 5th of December they would put out their shoes and in the night Black Peter would come and put candy or a toy in their shoes. We were just going to have the girls put their shoes out, but they insisted on putting out our shoes, too. I thought it was very sweet. :)
