I am camera-less today. In our whirlwind weekend of activity, picture taking and fun, I accidentally left my camera at my Dad's house yesterday in a hurried attempt to get my daughter to nap at least once in the three day span. The nap attempt failed yesterday, but I am thrilled that my baby girl is napping today. And during nap time, I usually look through photos, clean off the camera and edit photos. And...given I am camera-less today, I am feeling a bit naked and not sure what to do with myself.
And so, I sit here in a quiet house, enjoying the quiet. Enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree and ignoring the pressure to find anything else to fill my time.

Gingerbread Party 2011
As a child, my mom made gingerbread houses every year for her first grade classroom. Although I could never confirm it, I like to think children secretly begged their parents to switch classrooms just so they could be a part of Mrs. Perkins gingerbread fun.
We began this morning making icing...the way any 3-year old would...messy.
Today, I hosted a gingerbread party of my own. With my precious daughter and a few of our friends. And Nana of course. What a special day it was for all of us, full of fun, friends and lots of sugar. Just the way we like it!

And after all that sugar, we had to spend some time in our new bounce house to burn off some energy. Here, Adelyn is coming out of the house...
