Gingerbread Houses

 

We are keeping the tradition of Gingerbread houses alive. Somehow we managed to find the time and energy to make houses with my mom this year. For some reason the holiday has come so quickly and the month is flying by. But we still wanted to do some fun things and the kids look forward to making a house every year. This year Paige was even big enough to be able to decorate it by herself. I helped her and Grandma Yancey helped Parker. We kind of turned it into a suprise and the other team couldn't look at the opposing team's house until it was all finished. Paige and I did a smaller house with a pop tart roof and a Santa inside. Parker and Grandma went all out and did a two story house with a tree and deocorations inside! It was prett cook looking. These houses were the centerpiece on our table for a few weeks, until they started falling apart. It was so much fun and we look forward to seeing what we can build next year!
