ginger bread house

Sophia went to the neighbors house yesterday. Together the girls built and decorated this ginger bread house. Since they went away for the holidays, we now get to enjoy their magical creation.
The little people in the front, they told me, are Mateo, Sophia, Emma and Grace. I got tears in my eyes when they showed me. They reminded me of a childhood book I read and adored when I was younger. Die Kinder von Bullerbue, in which three families live together in a village and the children all share the holidays together, play, work and spend as much time as possible with each other. Now my children have something like it, and that made my heart soar.
Christmas is coming closer and we are all looking forward to it with great anticipation. Yesterday the Christmas carolers came by. I want to sing and sing and sing all kinds of christmas on christmas eve. That is my wish for Christmas.
