We have had a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas and have done some pretty fun stuff! We are so busy during the week that we have really gotten to where we protect our weekends for some good family time. Now we have 2 weeks off and are excited to be together. A couple of weeks ago, we went to a shopping center that was giving carriage rides with miniature horses. The girls had a great time and loved seeing the horses. After the carriage ride, we ate dinner at Pei Wei which is one of our favorites. Then, we ended the night with a dessert at the Pie Bar. All in the same shopping center and so much fun!

And the Pie Bar. It is seriously sooooo good.
We also attempted Gingerbread houses for the first time. We are not exactly the most patient people when it comes to art projects and we are definitely not engineers or architects so the Gingerbread houses were done...um...Gillespie style. We did get them together and the girls did get candy decorations on them, but they sure didn't last long. Luckily when they fell down, Gabe just said, "You get to eat the candy now!" That quickly took care of any sadness because they fell down and all was well. We're making some Christmas memories!
