This was the year to make gingerbread houses. I'm so thankful for Wilton who puts everything you need in a kit. I remember when I was kid and mom actually made the gingerbread pieces from scratch. Wow what a chore! We didn't know how good we had it back then. 
Zachary, Shelby Grace, Grandma and I made one at Grandma's house. I had to learn to let a three year old decorate it and not let it be the 'perfectly' deocrated house that I would design. He did a pretty good job though and add his own special flair to the house.
Of course Zachary enjoyed eating the candy abotu as much as he did putting it on the house. What could be better than decorating a house with tiny colored balls?!
My ABC addicted son had to add letters to the house. Z for Zachary of course, S for Shelby Grace and Seth, N for Nikita and Nina. Where woudl Zachary be without letters or his friends? :)
Shelby Grace even got in on the decorating action.
MMMMMM....Licking the icing is the best part mom!
Zachary got to build another gingerbread house with great grandma Nonna on Christmas Eve. He became a gingerbread decorating pro!
Nonnna was a little more particular than Mommy and we tried to follow the pattern a little more than our free design before.
Where did that peppermint go? We kept loosing peppermints inside the house as the roof woudl slide apart.
Look mom, I've got one eye like my gingerbread man!
We had lots of fun decorating houses this year. We even bought some kits after Christmas to take back with us to Korea next year. Run, run, run, As fast as you can...you can't catch me...I'm the gingerbread man!
