merry christmas to all....

"He Came! He Came" Santa found our house last night and left some fun presents for the Bull Family. Okay mostly just Lyza...but she was probably the best of all of us last year! Santa filled Lyza's stocking will a bunch of fun things and left her some new and exciting presents under the tree. Don't worry that we finally had to wake Lyza up at 9:00 on Christmas morning to open her gifts. What???

Lyza had such a great time opening presents. After she opened one she didn't want anymore and just wanted to play with the one she had. And some points we were literally forcing her to open another gift.

The Karaoke Machine from Santa Claus was the hit of the morning. All Lyza wants to do is sing into a microphone...so now she was ready to shine.

We had a crazy, but fun, Christmas Day. We visited both sides of our family and opened presents all day long. Here is a picture at my mom and dad's house on Christmas Night!

What a great day...but man were we tired!

See you next year Christmas!

first gingerbread houses

Lyza got to make her first gingerbread houses this year. She made her very first one with "Grandmas Eileen." She had a ball and loved eating the icing.

Here is a close up of Lyza's very first gingerbread house she ever made...complete with a snowman in the front yard.

Later in the month we decided that we better make another gingerbread house as a family. Hooray for the "easy to assemble" gingerbread house kits. I love it when things are so easy.

Lyza was intent on reading the directions along side of her dad.

I think the process went...eat a candy, put a candy on the house, eat a candy, put a candy on the house!

Hooray we are finished. Now the question I am going to get every second is..."Mom can I eat some of my gingerbread house?" Love it!
