Gingerbread Houses

We have started a new christmas tradition which is decorating gingerbread houses. We decided to do it on a Saturday morning where our kids wouldn't be rushed to finish at a certain time. Christian had to do everything by himself this year. I have to admit he did pretty well. It was so cute watching him. It got kind of messy with the icing.
Here Ryan is helping Cheyenne do the icing on the roof. For some reason Christian could do the icing but the girls had a hard time with it. Sammie did pretty well. We filled her bag a little bit to full.

We had to get a picture of Peyton helping with something. Then he decided it smelled yummy and tried to suck on it. Thank goodness we saved the gingerbread man from getting slimed with slobber!!!
Christian wanted to have someone help him decorate his roof with him. He would hand you what color of candy he wanted you to put on and would tell you right where to put it. He was so much fun this year.
Forget about decorating the gingerbread house, eating the icing is much more fun!!!

Sammie with her finished gingerbread house. She did such a good job. She had so much fun doing it.
Here is Cheyenne's finished product. She was very meticulous about how she decorated it.
Sammie took a picture of Christian's house. Christian decided to move when she took the picture. So there is his head with his house.
Our final gingerbread houses up where we can see them for the rest of the season. We love making our gingerbread houses. We have so much fun.
