Christmas Eve @ the Thomas Household

The notorious cookies and juice for Santa and a few crumbled cookies for the reindeer. I think Santa was a little hungry.

Noonie found a photo in a magazine showing where someone had taken a picture of a generation of hands together. Way too cool. We thought that was a very fitting thing to do with Meme's current situation. She was called in the day before Thanksgiving and told her cancer had returned after four years and that she has very little time remaining with us. We are fortunate to have this remaining time to spend catching moments such as these.

How long do you thing this Gingerbread house lasted after it was completed? Not too long.
