Preston had crazy hat day at school. He thought about wearing Jorja's cowboy hat, but then settled on the duck's Waluigi hat. He did look adorable.

Preston

Jorja loves her ducks. As soon as she walks in the door she gets them out to play with. The problem is, they are getting much bigger and they poop. A lot. I wish I could just let them roam the house while she is gone, but I have no desire to follow them around cleaning up poop the entire day.

Kiki & Quacky Chan

Preston introducing Quacky Chan to the other ducks.

Mike came home and spent the evening trying to figure out duck diapers. Haha. He cracks me up. The ducks aren't a big fan of the diapers and have a hard time walking in them, but it is better than me cleaning up after them every few seconds!

Quacky Chan

 They love worms.

Stockton came home this weekend! Maysen stayed up in Logan. He stopped at Sydney's house and brought her up here to see the ducks. He hasn't seen Sydney since graduation. They hung out here for a bit, then went to see a movie and had ice-cream. Stockton drove Jorja's 'HEYBOYS' car. Haha.

Jorja hung out with Hailey tonight. She loved that. She drove herself down and back. She is loving the freedom having a drivers license brings her. Jorja needs a new phone case because hers is literally falling apart. She wanted to get a case with this picture on it. I don't understand that girl.

Hailey & Jorja

Hailey gave Jorja a bouquet of Charleston Chews. They spilled while Jorja was driving home and we tried to put it together as best we could. Those are going to last her awhile! I love Hailey. I am so thankful for her and what she means to Jorja.

Gingerbread, Gingerbread, Gingerbread

Stockton and Jorja both had friends over to decorate gingerbread houses. Maysen also was able to build her house, since she was at college for each of our family parties. It was a crazy, fun time.

 Jorja made a cool manger scene. I tried to take close up pictures, but this is the only one that turned out.

These are the three wisemen with their various gifts. The long pretzel is a camel.

 Drew tried to decorate his house with zombie repellant. It disintegrated his house.

This is all he had left. I still made him take a picture.

 Jorja and Hallie dancing, not sure why.

Jorja and her friends watched Elf after decorating the houses. Jorja gave Evan his Christmas present. She got him this fly shooter gun and Season 5 of Parks and Rec. I wish I had a picture or a video of his face. He liked the presents. The episode of Parks and Rec that made Evan laugh and laugh is in Season 5. This is the episode that Jorja and Hailey recreated and sent to Evan. Perfect present for him.

Gavin came over and hung out with Stockton and Sydney for about an hour. They played ping pong and other such nonsense downstairs. Sydney left when Stockton and Gavin went to diving. Preston was feeling sick, so he stayed home. Gavin came back after diving and hung out with Stockton and Jorja.

Yay! I survived the last gingerbread party of the season! I'm still making gingerbread. I'm trying to get enough to give to the people we home and visit teach. Plus a few extras. I am determined to figure out how to made a dairy free/egg free house. That way if Mike and Christen are ever here around Christmas, I can make a house for Larkin and Blake. I want to give the house to Becky Johnson. Luke is allergic to dairy and eggs too. I will figure this out. I'm mostly worried about getting frosting strong enough to hold the house up, but I will figure this out.
