Gingerbread House

Guest Writer: Mommy

Now that absolutely amazing sister-in-law of mine, who is working very hard so that this Christmas season isn't full of hum-bug for my family, brought us a Gingerbread House making kit.

It takes all of us to do a major project like this.

Like I said, serious teamwork here.

Michelle hard at work paying close attention to the detail. And what is Ryker doing?

That's right, testing out the sweetness.

Okay, he will help out again too.

Love this sweet little face.

Hm . . . wonder where she picked up that trait?

Now to the adding candy (sampling candy) step.

Like we said, it is the details that matter.

The most amazing Gingerbread House ever. And let me tell you that even though some of the candies continually go missing each time I get a certain little visitor, everyone else who comes to visit tells me how this is one amazing little house. Thanks to my most amazing sister-in-law for this perfect little Christmas Family activity.
