On the 12th SuperDad was able to rejoice due to the semester being over. This gave his mind and nerves a much needed break. SuperMom celebrated by baking up a storm and sharing her tasty wares (cookies) at a neighborhood cookie exchange party.
We made our first attempt as a family to build a gingerbread house. We must admit though that we somewhat cheated by buying a pre-fab house kit. As you can see from the pics, the SuperKids were much more interested in the candy decorations.

Mmmm, Candy!
SUGAR!!!
The Finished Product
We also celebrated our Lil' Bear turning two years old. SuperMom and I still wonder in disbelief how our baby could be two years old already. It seems just like yesterday he was in diapers...wait...he still is! We had a quaint celebration with some of his buddies, the smaller half of the Super Schloemers. I love his range of emotions and faces in the following pictures. I see a future on the big screen or television.
Hmmm...Which one do I eat first?!

As a family we were also able to enjoy Monkey's Pre-school Christmas Program. It was great seeing all the little kids singing classic songs and some new ones. My favorite was a rendition of the 'Wheels on the Bus' song with a Christmas theme. Monkey loves to sing, so this was perfect for her. Gotta love the hats too!

SuperMom ended the week with yet another cookie party. No wonder people gain weight around the holidays! As for the weather, on the 14th we started out around 50 degrees and within a matter of 3-4 hours we were around 17 degrees. Places that were warmer than we were: Nome, Alaska! This week we have dropped below 0 degrees multiple times, -25 to -40 degrees with wind chill. Welcome to Iowa! It looks as if we will have a White Christmas after all. Makes this time of year even more exciting.
-Finally, SuperDad just wants you to remember the reason for the season. Merry CHRISTmas to all SuperFans everwhere!
