Gingerbread houses 2009....

This is our gingerbread house making extravaganza!!!! On the spur of the moment we invited the neighbors to come and make some houses too. (and eat candy of course!)
Daddy helped PG and kept PD well stocked with treats to keep her happy.

Maddie and her Mom worked one a house and Katie and her Dad worked on the other house. I worked hard on my own. :o)
Here are the finished products....
PG and his house of yummy-ness!
Here is the big house! :o)
Our Neighbors and their houses! For Cody this was his first house ever, so I am glad that we could help him have a great time....at least I hope he had fun...:o)
This is PD that went back into the kitchen when no one was looking and started eating off of Katie and Cody's house! it was kinda funny...sorry Cody about the hot tub!
The next morning I woke up to SNOW....
and a LOT of it....I shoveled aobut 8" and when KJ came home from work he shoveled another 4-6"...it was GROSS! But the kids were excited. and we should have a great big pile of snow for a snow cave when the exchange students come in a month. The pros and cons of a North facing house...the snow doesn't melt until may! :o)


and another tradition....
our family under the Christmas tree 2009!

Merry Christmas!!!
