We had a very busy day today, first two dance recitals, family over, and then a cookie party.
My Nana and granddaddy would have a "Cookie Party" every year. We would go and decorate gingerbread houses. My parents have carried on this tradition with their grandkids. We went over and decorated the houses and had a great time. The kids love doing this. I don't know which is more fun eating all the candy and frosting or decorating the houses. It is fun to see their different personalities come out in the way that they decorate. Thanks Mama and Papa, it was a lot of fun.
This is JJ's first year to do the house on his own. JJ's house reminds me a lot of one David would have made. They are a lot alike. Even in the way that they decorate their house.
Emma worked with Papa this year. He helped her put on her frosting and she put the candies in place. It won't be to long before she doesn't have help either. Man they grow fast.
Ellie worked with Mama, or should I say watched Mama. She put a few candies on but Mama had to finish it because Ellie lasted only as long as she was able to eat every last piece of candy. Every time I looked at her she had another piece of candy in her mouth.
Soon enough Elsie will get her chance.

Those are fun houses. Did you make them or are they pre-packaged?

I think we only got to do that at Nana's twice, but oh it was so much fun! I'm glad the tradition continues.
looks like fun! you always get great pics of your happenings!
I've never made a gingerbread house! I'm feeling very deprived after seeing your kids' awesome creations. Maybe we'll try making one next year.
