Christmas Miscellaneous

Gingerbread house time!!! This was the first time all three kiddos participated in this messy sticky endeavor. We bought a pre-built house as I didn't want to mess with keeping the structure standing while the three mauled it.

And it seems the Ochoa rule to demolish it immediately afterwards. Here's Dylan suddenly discovering he didn't like the taste of gingerbread after all.

Look at the new member of the four-eyes club!

Mom and Dad are blind as bats, so it's not much of a surprise at all. She got them yesterday and has taken to them quite well. Walking out of the clinic with them on, she scanned the room in awe, "Wow! Everything is so nice!' Poor thing, we had no clue she saw things blurry.

Speaking of the four-eyed monster....here is a laundry basket of ALL of her presents. After purposefully flooding the master bathroom, and urging Liv to follow suit, she was commanded to collect all of her presents under the tree because she did NOT deserve them any longer.

She was given the opportunity to collect them back one at a time if she displayed exceptionally good behavior from now until Christmas.

Wow, the threat of losing all of those treats was the key to the drastic 180.

So, during the middle of the night, Bobbert the Elf returned from the North Pole and placed all of the presents back under the tree.
