3rd Annual Making of the Gingerbread Houses

P1000219
Today we had our third annual family gingerbread house day. This is always a really fun creative project and I love to see what everyone comes up with. Mabel, with some assistance from me, made a giant snowman for her house.

Ella made a snowman too, but mainly focused on beautifying her yard.

When she finished, Mabel said, "Boy, Ella, your yard sure is full!" And that's just the front yard!
Of course, Brent and I got in on the fun too. He made a traditional two-story with candles in the window.

And I made a winter sleighride.

And if you're wondering what Beatrix was up to. She was eating her body weight in graham crackers. And she managed to steal one jelly wreath and pop the whole thing in her mouth. How she gummed that all down with one and a half teeth, I will never know, but she's gifted that way.
