Ginger Bread Houses

We had a wonderful wonderful Christmas! So great that it will take me a few days to document it all!

Each year we all look forward to making ginger bread houses together. This has been Marci and Kenny’s Christmas present to the kids for the last five years! This year was no different but we had to make the houses without them! The Platts didn’t come for Christmas and we miss them so very much! But we were able to fill their love as we decorated our houses!

Lots of help setting up!

Silly silly kids!

It wasn’t our usually crowd but it was great to have Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Marie and her bestie Jessica with us!

Auntie Marie helped Tori make her ginger bread house!

Jessica helped Ariana make the “best house ever!!”

Michael had a great time eating everything that we put in front of him!

Ammon’s had a lot of candy placed on it!

Kalixta’s lovely house!

Britain worked a long time on her house and it turned out great!

Nik’s are always the most interesting….

Zoe’s was awesome!

Thank you so MUCH Kenny, Marci and KP! We loved our gift and missed you guys so so so much!!

Sunday was also Christmas Adam. Our family joke, because Adam came before Eve! Our family tradition is that all the kids get to sleep in front of the tree! I didn’t know if they would want to since the floor is tile and hard and cold. But tradition is tradition and you can’t tell my kids different, so they slept by the tree. Except for Nik because he really likes his bed!

    We really missed you guys too. But glad we were able to keep that tradition going!! Looks like you guys had fun, though the best part is not even pictured… the consumption of the gingerbread houses 🙂
