The Rosemont Lights

I had an opportunity to spend some qualify time with Savannah. Everyone else had gone away this weekend. I attempted to bring her to see the Rosemont lights last year but she got sick in the car and had to go back home. She fell asleep in the car which turned out great because she really needed a nap.When she woke up we had finally reached our destination and was amazed with what she saw outside the window. We looked at all the decorated houses and Christmas lights. It is quite a sight to see while driving down the expressway during this time of the year. It was a balming 36 degrees outside and we were both freezing cold. I carried Savannah around to keep us both warm and than we visited the petting zoo. Afterwards we drove around the neighborhood to see more Christmas lights.

Ginger Bread House

Last night at Bed, Bath and Beyond I picked up a gingerbread house. Savannah insisted upon just getting the Hello Kitty Edition. She was so excited and really looking forward to putting the house together. Right away I noticed that one of the roof panels were broken. I used the hot glue gun to mend the crack and than when I started putting frosting on the house the frosting bag broke. I was really getting annoyed at this point. I attempted to make homemade frosting and that was too runny and I couldn't get the right consistency. I apparently don't know what I'm doing. I should have just used the frosting that was sitting in the fridge. I just thought it might be too hard to use since it was cold. Needless to say I ended up using the homemade frosting. It was a runny drippy mess. Here is the final product. At least Savannah had fun with this project.
