We had so much fun this afternoon building gingerbread houses with Eli's friend Ryan and his mom, Carol (my friend!). The first time we did this together (I think this is our 3rd time), the big boys were just over 2 and they were only interested in eating the candies. Cole was only 5 months old and too wee to join in the action. Fast forward....and here we are for more fun!! Gingerbread house building has become something of a tradition for us. The boys look forward to it each year. This time they were all interested in decorating and did a great job with their houses. It started off super messy but we salvaged their designs and had fun doing it. The boys ended up running all over the house while Carol and I enjoyed a little bit of time to talk. Such fun with our friends.........Christmas Memories!!
Ready....set.....decorate!
Ryan was serious about his gingerbread house creation. I think his Mom helped him with the curves, not sure.
The more icing the better!!
Even Cole was into it! He was serious about his icing, on his house
and in his mouth!!
Then we moved to spreaders to even out the pile on the roof
and THAT wound up in his mouth too!
My little sugar boy - busted!
We also had Ninja Gingerbread men to decorate.
A pile of icing and lots of sprinkles
how could you not be happy?!
Don't miss any icing now Cole.
You talking to me?!
Silly boys
They've been friends for a LONG time (since 6 weeks old!!)
Eli taught Ryan how to scale the doorway. Carol and Kevin may not be too happy about that.
Tres Amigos
