Friends have been asking me for some holiday pics. I've been out of touch with most everyone lately and I flaked on doing my annual holiday letter & picture. If I can pull some pennies together, I'll be sending out a "Happy January" letter. Ha ha! In the meantime, here's the beginning of the holiday picture onslaught. All I can say is be careful what you wish for.
Today, we'll be reviewing one of my favorite traditions...the building of the gingerbread houses! I have been known in my mommy circle to be a little overly competitive when it comes to building these houses. For the past 2 years, I've gotten together with several friends and their kids to have a building party. Unfortunately, due to craziness, we had to fly solo on the mission this time around.
Here's Little A working very meticulously on her roof (notice me NOT micro managing)
Here's Big A working diligently (notice Grandma micromanaging? See where I might get that from?)
Little A is VERY proud of her home progress! She decorated the roof all by herself after I put the icing on.
Big A was equally proud of her culinary achievement thus far!
No project is complete without enjoying the fruits of your labor. In this case, it was iced gingerbread cookies. There's nothing better!
Little A was a HUGE fan of the icing. The cookie, not so much.
Little A proudly displays her finished confection construction
Big A is very excited to show off her finished house and grandma's iced cookies
We all had such a great time! However, next year, I'll have to get some moms together again so I can show off my mad gingerbread house building skills. Because I'm not competitive or anything. Ahem.
