Although the Stop Pinning and Start Doing Challenge is officially over, I wanted to post my final Pinterest Challenge.

As of Late
First off, check out the temperature on New Years Eve. Your eyes do not deceive you. It was 65 degrees. In Missouri. On New Years Eve. Last week Ben’s preschool had ‘dress up as your favorite superhero/prince/princess.” Because Ben doesn’t really watch or play with the traditional superhero’s (i.e.Batman, Superman, etc) he picked the only one he knew of, Diego. An animal rescuer. I couldn’t think of a better one myself. Here he is sporting the outfit. Yesterday we went to Barnes and Noble for their story time.

Christmas Eve Eve 2011
The day before Christmas Eve, Ben and I went to my mom’s house where we met my sister and nieces to decorate cookies for Santa. Later that night we decorated our Gingerbread Man House. Every year we do this and every year I can’t remember why. The icing doesn’t really stick and you can’t even eat the darn thing. Someone sneaking a bite of the candy. The finished project. To a two year old, we created the freakin Taj Mahal. Go us.
