Decorating AFTER Christmas?! We really live on the wild side around here.
We visited Shaw Nature Reserve today.
An absolutely beautiful day!
Inside the house they had tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Plus lots of photographs, displays of historical artifacts (the Spy loved the arrow heads) and we got a bunch of nice pamphlets (on butterflies, hummingbirds, native Missouri landscaping and a tree ID guide) perfect for reading indoors on a much colder winter day (it was 55 today!)

Christmas Eve:
Christmas morning:
I love building with gingerbread and royal icing!
I tried to make stained glass for the windows with sugar but it was a little thick so I just piled it next to the house instead
The “stained glass” is very yummy (hard candy caramel) and the gingerbread is tasty too (yes we will definitely be eating this delicious church!)
Merry Christmas!
