The
gingerbread kit that we bought certainly made this year's family Christmas tradition easier. Instead of baking the gingerbread ourselves, we tore open the box and out popped all the ingredients to build a spectacular house. As it turned out, our house did not end up looking like the pictures on the box. No surprise there. But it was fun watching our two daughters decorate the house with pretty colors. My sister had a good time making some double doors and putting the final touches on one side of the roof. Our youngest son, however, didn't like not being able to eat the colorful candy so my parents helped divert his attention to another part of the house. I'm still trying to figure out how to get our four children to look joyful in a picture...all together. We take quite a few just to get one, you know how that is. But this one is just too cute not to share. I don't know what our youngest is doing, but he's not interested in looking at the camera.
