GINGERBREAD HOUSES--2009

Jared and I hosted our annual Gingerbread decorating night. Now, I usually really enjoy this night in particular, and in the past have been known to make my very own gingerbread house, from scratch...but when I spotted these I just couldn't pass them up...

Wyatt and Luke decorated their very own house (with huge marsh mellows that were supposed to be for the hot chocolate)...they were so proud! Even little Levi stayed up to enjoy some decorating. Once the kids were tucked away in their beds, the real decorating began! Connie and Carrie were serious and whipped out some pretty awesome houses! I am sad I didn't get a picture...Carrie (and Dan) made a really cool Hawaiian themed house, and Connie (and Tim's) perfect traditional gingerbread house was a beauty!

Not everyone could make it (Cam and Jenny were out of town), but we did get Tim, Lynn, Julee, Misty, Dad, Micky, and the boys! Sooo, since we couldn't all be there for gingerbread houses, Cam and Jenny decided to have everyone over one last time before Christmas (No pictures-boo!)!! Cam and Jenny did not disappoint. Cameron said it would be really "low-key", but their table was full of yummy, homemade Christmas treats!
