The Gingerbread House

Joshua and I working on our gingerbread house. As we were making it Joshua told us that he really wanted this house to be Uncle Andrew's. I told him that I am not sure that Daddy will be able to resist eating it by the time Andrew gets here. I can hear him right now telling Annabelle that it is for Uncle Andrew. I wonder how he will feel if we eat it. Anyway, this was created with you in mind Andrew :) We love you! 

Here is a close up at the teddy ber leaving his house. 

I think we did alright for our first time!!! :) I love it! 

Joshua and Pumpkin. 

Gingerbread night

Adam and the kids cutting out cookies. 

Annabelle called this her angel. This was the only cookie she decorated and then she took most of the night to eat! 

Cookie baking! 

 

Annabelle and Rudolf. Adam had to fix the nose so it would blink. Annabelle is absolutely obsessed with this guy. She wakes up in the middle of the night to come down and make Rudolf sing. So Cute!

We all decorated some of the gingerbread cookies. It was a lot of fun. There were a lot more after this.

The Boys 

Stephanie was baby sitting and our phone died so she got her mom to bring her one and all the kids got to have a little time together. How cute!
