Santa Pics and Gingerbread House Contest!

Madi was such a good girl and told Santa what she wanted for Christmas. I was surprised she didn't cry. Her wish list this year is a Barbie toothbrush and a big dolly. Chase just wants boy toys since all of ours are pink. he he. It has been fun (trying to) teach Madi about the real meaning of Christmas this year. We went to the temple lights and saw the nativity and the big statue of Jesus Christ. She was so amazed by the whole thing. Then, we did a sticker nativity project where we put the stickers of the characters on a piece of paper (really simple, I know) and I explained each one. She is still a little bit confused whether Jesus is a baby or an adult. And I asked her who Jesus' dad was and she said Santa. So funny. She is only barely 3.


Also we had the Annual Heid Gingerbread House Contest a little early this year since Ty and Ash were going to Utah for Christmas.

Tyler and Ashley's is on the left and Tiffini and Derrick's is on the right.
Those are the penguins of the Madagascar movie.
Ours is the red car and Tiana and Tracy's is on the right.

So a little back story to our house, Tracy, Trevors mom, recently bought a brand new Kia Soul. It is one of those boxy cars and its bright red. She is known as Santa around here since she loves to go overboard on Christmas gifts. So we've been calling it the Sleigh. So that's why we made a red Kia Soul Santa's Sleigh gingerbread house.

We each got a vote but couldn't vote for our own and then read them Survivor style. This family is so fun to be a part of!!
Guess who won? Santa's Sleigh Baby ~!!!!

Before I heard the Soul story I was voting for the igloo. Fun and Wakes thinks that Chase has an earring on in the Santa pix. If you look real close but not too close and the pix is small it looks like he pimpin' an earring. Miss you guys.
