We had a fan-tab-u-lous day yesterday! The Becksteads' joined us for a day of feasting, fun, and family traditions. After an amazing ham dinner, we set the kids up to decorate gingerbread houses. They made quite an array of colorful creations. Some of the candy went missing, but nary a house was lost...thanks to the power of the almighty hot glue gun ;) I did forewarn the kids to skip the "house" part of their nibbles later.
Suckers were an addition to the candy selection this year. They made for cool chimneys and pathways to the houses. OK. What we really saw was just the sticks left on the "path"...but it was the thought that counted.
Some of the houses were top-heavy with candy, while others were covered in cereal. Cameron's house had four layers of Life cereal before he was satisfied.
It was a lot of fun to have friends join us in our yearly tradition. Cody remembers doing this at preschool with me over three years ago!
After we were all cleaned up, it was time for movies and games to finish off our day. I have a new favorite Christmas movie...Elf! I'm still laughing at his quirky one-liners in my head today!
