December Piano, Leaves, and Candy

December 10, 2011 - Kylee and Brayden played Christmas songs at the Rolling Oaks Mall with 10 other piano students.  I was in Hawaii, so Matt took the kids to go watch.  He said that they did a great job.

December 19, 2011 - The kids worked hard to collect all the leaves from our lawn and put them in the trampoline enclosure to play with.  This was nothing in comparison to the leaves that we would collect in North Carolina (that would have filled the trampoline enclosure to overflowing), but they still had lots of fun.

That same night we put a pre-made gingerbread house together to celebrate the holidays.  The highlight for the kids was sampling all the candies.

They weren't very patient to let the roof harden before putting on the candies, so it caved in.

Matt rescued it after they went to bed.  I forgot to take a picture before they started taking off the candies.
