Every year on December 1st, Grandma Deb brings us all a "December gift." Almost every year we can count on her to supply us with a gingerbread kit, something that the kids really enjoy! This year it took the kids ALL NIGHT to create their own mini houses, an activity that is supervised by our wonderful dad...He gets extra points for heading up this activity because it is one that mommy cannot bear- mainly due to the messiness of the frosting, candy, and the time it takes the kids to make their houses. I like to just get in and get out - if mom was in charge of the gingerbreads, it would be a 15-20 minute endeavor!
Here is dad getting the houses all glued together.
Dad helping Alex decided where to put his initial candies.
Everyone watching how the houses are built and choosing their candies...thank goodness that Halloween came a few months ago, because it gave us all kind of extra candy to create with!
This is as creative as mommy got with the houses...Roxy was watching the kids so intently that I just had to make her a little something too.
The finished houses...the kids used old chocolate bars, marshmallows, lollypops, gumballs, nerds etc...
Mom wrapped Christmas presents, dad and the kids created and at the end of the night everyone had a great time!

I see that Alex is into making weird faces in pictures! :) Elliot is in the same phase. He thinks it is hilarious!
Looks like fun. We are doing ours this Sunday!
