Gingerbread love

A Christmas tradition…. buying a $7 gingerbread house kit from W@lly World and then gorging on all the candy putting it together with love and care.

Carefully… carefully…

Shepherd getting in on the action

“What do you think?” “Uhhh, right here looks good…”

The collaborative effort of 8 beautiful minds. I know. It’s amazing.

With an overdose of testosterone in the room, construction soon leads to destruction…

and everybody gets in on the action. At least everyone big enough to muscle into the crowd…

Demolition complete.

Victory is sweet.

    Wow, no need to figure out where to put it…it stores itself! That looks like a fun tradition! Maybe you should think about a construction business for the family…nah, might not be a good idea after all, since they take down what they put up!

    Merry Christmas!

    Yes…it was a beauty! I am such a mean mommy…we make ours early on and then I use it for decoration! I don’t think my boys know that you really can eat one of those houses! 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and safe travels ahead!

    I love the little tongues sticking out in anticipation of it! how smart to make it a collaboration and be done with it! (instead of stolen, sticky, naughty nibbles for days!)

    God bless your Advent with love and joy!
