Gingerbread houses!

This year I decided to start a new tradition and that is to have some friends and family over to make gingerbread houses. Ryan and I have been thinking of a few "new" traditions that we can start and do every year and this was one of them. I know Ryan was excited to make one, but instead he was a great father and helped Hollie make hers...maybe next year love. We all had a blast and it was fun watching the kids create their own. Believe it or not, but the mess afterwards wasn't even that bad...hooray!!!

The beginning

hard at work

The Empire State Building

.....And here is Crystal's gingerbread house....so cute and so creative...I love the Santa Clause going down the licorice chimney.

Thanks everyone for coming it was SO much fun! Can't wait till next year!
