A Real Gingerbread House

No cracker houses for us this year. Paige was determined we needed to make a gingerbread house like last time. Last time was 6 years ago and what a project it was. I was smarter this year in that I knew I wanted to make a smaller house. Not so smart in the design. I made the roof too small. This house only lasted an hour before it fell apart. Sure was yummy to eat!

November yard work

Lucy and Louis had so much fun raking our leaves they wanted to rake the neighbors too. I thought they probably wouldn't mind so we started. Then they came home and asked "Are you doing our yard work?" I explained that it was the kids idea. Louis demonstrated by raking a pile and saying "Look Mom!" Louis took off before I got the camera. We all had fun.

First December Snow!

The snow wasn't deep but it was enough to play in! Paige made the snowman.

Jed was in charge of Christmas music. Decorating for Christmas!
