"Goodbye you Gage!"

Tonight at dinner Maya bit her thumb while eating a biscuit.

It was kind of cute & sort of sad & a whole lot of funny all rolled into one.  Gage was laughing so hard & it made her angry; so she stormed away from the table hurling jibberish insults to all of us - but mostly Gage.  Then she said the funniest thing in language we actually understood -

"Goodbye. You. Gage!"

Indeed.

This video was taken immediately following but as you can see; all was forgiven & she was back to her normal old self!

Don't be alarmed.....

We have a witch living in our house.  I know its closer to Christmas than Halloween but some things are just harder to let go of.....in Maya's case, its being a witch!

A Christmas Tradition

We usually do a gingerbread house every year.  We didn't get to it last year because we were moving.   I still had the house I bought from last year & it was still in the box & in great condition!  So tonight we the kids harassed us decided it was time!

and because I know you are dying to see what Christmas looks like in a house as crazy as mine......

O Christmas Tree

We have a Christmas tree downstairs this year (I guess there was one last year too...eventually).  Emma was in charge of the star this year which was a very huge responsibility - according to her!

Then things got a little crazy at the Hicken house, as they normally do......

They think they are models; I think they are "posers" either way it was very funny.
