I am always amazed at how much more sophisticated the house gets each year. It's fun to watch their skill level grow each year.

Construction Ahead
The kids built their annual gingerbread house yesterday. While Bub was forming the foundation and the walls, I read aloud to them from Magic for Marigold by L.M. Montgomery. Once it was time for the actual decorating, I put the book away, so they could argue interact amongst each other as to how and where to put all the candy and ice it.

What a fun gingerbread house and greenery (below). I think I'd go nuts if someone asked me to sew 8 costumes before tomorrow. Good luck with that. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteLove the gingerbread house :0)
I always think that my husband - the architect will think that's fun, but he hasn't bitten yet. I want to make one that is OUR house, but probably better start simpler :0)
Good luck on the costumes. Shepherds? Angels?
And, have you found your flute? You've been on my mind...

I enjoyed all of L.M. Montgomery's books. While I liked Magic for Marigold (I've read it about four times, over the years), the one I keep going back and reading about once a year is The Blue Castle. For some reason I still enjoy that one - even at my nearly middle age!!!
ReplyDeleteThey did a wonderful job!!! ~Great pictures We will be building ours over the weekend:) ~Blessings & Merry Christmas Heather
ReplyDeleteWe did this last year and Charlotte especially enjoyed it. I forgot about it this year...I must get better because while it might frustrate me, they seem to love it.
