laughing our heads off at Dad laughing his head off at the hilarious adventures of Alex, Melman, Gloria, Marty, and - the never to be forgotten patriarch of the 'Naughty List' -King Julien as they attempt to save Christmas. Seriously people, it's a good thing we were not in public! (You should definitely check this movie out.) After wrapping Friday up WAY TOO LATE with bellies full of caramel, popcorn, date balls, chocolate pretzels, fudge and ever other Christmas treat imaginable, we peacefully slumbered until morning when the real fun began.
Disclaimer: We may have a little, tiny, smidgen of OCD. . maybe!
The following are the steps to making a successful gingerbread house village. Rulers mandatory.
After cutting the gingerbread according to all OSHA guidelines, laying color coordinated tile roofing and gluing down new fallen snow we created the Evans/Heuett village. Notice that may parents reside in the most symmetrical house, while the boys obviously hate their neighbors, and Bryce and I just have the most rockin' pad on the block baby!
After house building we played several amazingly fun games including 'SANTA Bingo' which inspired Bryce's hit single entitled S-A-N-T-A. Look for it's release Christmas day and 'Right before Christmas Left' which much to our pleasure produced hours of endless fun, in the pitch black stake center gym.
WE ARE BRUCE'S ANGELS
Thanks to mom's ingenious Christmas gift we will definitely be shooting each other with darts for many Christmases to come!
Casualties aside, this Christmas part was FABULOUS! We got absolutely no sleep, laughed way to hard, ate more than our body weights in treats and shared a little Christmas spirit. I love my family so so so much and am so glad Bryce and I were able to spend the weekend with them!
Only 4 days until C-day. And in the words of the movin' king of the Lemur's:
"Happy Julienuary!"

LOVE. Love. LOVE!
Happy holidays to you, my friend! PS... the Nielsen fam loves that movie as well. Go figure. Perhaps we should arrange a friendly familial Nerf gun war. Good idea :).
Miss your face! Come say hi over the break. Please :)
Oh my goodness! A LITTLE smidgen of OCD???!!!
Looks like a lot of fun traditions. And to think all we do is eat. shameful.
Love the house design. VERY domestic. Marriage must agree with you kids. ;-)
Merry Christmas!!
