Gingerbread houses

This year, we were able to decorate gingerbread houses with Dave's parents in person again, which was so much more fun than last year's virtual experience.  This is a tradition the girls (and Dave's mom and dad) always look forward to!

This year, we found a great Black Friday deal at Target on an artificial tree for upstairs--something Dave has been wanting, since we've been putting our big tree in the basement and we don't always hang out down there.  It was a pretty addition to our decorations upstairs:

Of course, the girls wanted to spend the night by the tree after we got it decorated:

Amazing weather for the end of November!

The Elf on the Shelf came a couple of days early, bringing pajamas for the girls and Sadie, too!
