Okay, only a little bickering. But since there's some sort of bacterial epidemic running rampant through the base and everyone is catching a zombie virus, I forced the kids to stay inside, and so of course cabin fever started taking over.
Thankfully I bought gingerbread house making kits weeks ago and stored them in our laundry room, waiting for just the right day where everyone was home and Christmasy boredom was threatening. Brad came home early today and so we did our annual gingerbread village making. Each year Brad and I split into 2 teams and take a kid (this year he had Calen and I had Cam) and we build 2 gingerbread houses.
This year I found alpine style houses, which I like because it's 90% ROOF, and that's what the best part of gingerbread house making is anyways, decorating the ROOF.
After this Brad promptly went to bed because he caught some strain of the zombie virus (actually I just think he had a classic case of the "Hansen Stomach", because Hansen men seem to be able to barf on command), so the kids and I left our infected home and went to see Weaver's Wonderland.
Weaver's Wonderland (which isn't called that anymore) was a house in Rohnert Park that has won national Christmas decorating awards for several years in a row. It's truly the most incredible display of decorations you've ever seen. However, last year was his last year decorating, and Weaver donated (or sold) most of his decorations to his neighbor friend down the road. So, this year we went to the new Wonderland, which isn't QUITE as impressive, but it's still freaking amazing, especially the Dickens Village that takes up the ENTIRE GARAGE.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve Eve and I'm in total denial. Isn't it only the first week of December?
