Gingerbread Houses

Grammy's birthday was on the 15th, so we decided to spend a day together making gingerbread houses. We had never done this with my parents before, so it was really fun to see them get into it as much as us. My Dad got creative with the licorice and candy canes for a fence and my mom had fun cheating by copying the picture on the box! Next year we're going to take it from her! Ashley got to participate this year, too, and loved it! She was in charge of gingerbread men... ate more candy than she put on, but at least she asked before she indulged! She's such a good girl! Isaiah was napping while our very messy project was going on, but as soon as he got up he wanted in! He helped a little, but next year will be better. When our gingerbread houses were done we had dinner and carrot cake for dessert (not that we needed any more sweets). I think she would say it was a very special birthday this year! She only celebrated for about 2 weeks! You are loved Grammy!

Ashley's gingerbread men. She was so proud of her "boot" she put on the one on the right.











Grammy's going to love this picture! Just wanted to demonstrate the mess we made.
