Gingerbread Houses...

14 January 2017

I have this desire...to try and be a wonderful "Granny"...I have always

desired to become... like my Grandmother was to me...

Well, I fall quite short...if I were to compare myself to her...but, 

she did inspire me...to LOVE my grandchildren...like

she loved me...

I want a home where the grandchildren come...and build memories...

So, I came up with this idea...to have a "Gingerbread" decorating day

before Christmas...but, TIME was not on my side...so,

I had it this month...smile

Here are a FEW of the pictures I took...

 Garvin worked in getting the house made first...so they

would be hardened...and workable when the 

children...decorated them...

 I used my fun Christmas plates...Wanted it to be special...

 I made my homemade spaghetti sauce...

so we had sauce over noodles...and rolls...with

hot chocolate...

After we cleared the table of the food...

it was time to decorate the gingerbread houses...

plus, I had baked some "sugar" cookies

for them to decorate, also...

 Opps...this picture is of the younger ones eating...

 Joseph's finished project...

 Lillie's finished project...

 Daisy's finished project...

 Alayna's finished project...though, when

she picked it up to move it from the table...

it fell unto the floor and broke into many pieces...

Sent home...a few houses that weren't done... for her to 

DECORATE...smile 

 Claira's finished project

 Savannah's finished project...

 Jacob still working on his...

Nathan still working on his...

And...our little man...Ethen...

who simply chilled...

Such a pleasant little fellow...

SMILES at everyone!

P.S. In case you are wondering about Ivy's gingerbread house...

She liked EATING the decorations...more...smile
