Gingerbread house building.

The Monday before Christmas we had the Hardy family over to build our versions of gingerbread houses. Sam says they are really graham cracker houses. We put all the candy and stuff on the table and let them commence building.

Everyone goes about it a bit differently.

Here is Luke's creation. He thinks more is better. (Don't know where the hat showed up from but he wears it non stop!)

Hannah and David with their creations. We used chocolate grahams for the first time this year to add a little contrast.

Raelynn with her masterpiece. She did a lot of landscaping!

Ainzlee with her house. She went simple after her first one fell down.

Isaac with his house and his little out house on the side.

And then there is Sam. He always takes the longest but always comes away with a beautiful house. We all are amazed with his creativity.

Here it is up close.

Stu had a bit of trouble with his house this year.

He made a little baby Jesus which he gave to Raelynn to put in her yard.

And here they all are together. Our little neighborhood. Well done everyone. Millie
