November 30, 2006: Gingerbread House

gingerbread houseThe gingerbread house was bought at Bonn Christmas market where Anne was last weekend as part of her trip to Remagen in Germany. Last year the girls got a DIY version but this year there were only ready made ones. They seem to like it anyway.

Gwen has tried riding the palomino twice more but without Vivi’s expert help with the saddle, things didn’t run smoothly and she soon gave up when she could feel the saddle slipping. We’ll try again but only when Vivi can help with the saddle.

Today Mia had a tooth taken out at the dentist. It wasn’t as bad as she’d feared plus she should have had two out but got away with only one as long as she does her best to get the second one to fall out spontaneously. The problem is that the adult ones are knocking at the door and don’t have room to come out. Part of the anaesthetic was laughing gas which really did make her laugh.
