gingerbread houses

 Tonight we had the Chinos over and we go in on a little of there daily Advent fun. Today's activity was gingerbread houses. Alison picked up these gingerbread kits and all of the kids were super excited.

We started out slow, trying to figure how to get them to stay together and squeezing the icing out of the provided bags.

but it really wasn't long before we were all deep in icing. i kept having to wash my hands so i could snap a few pictures.

the kiddos were all so cute.

and had a blast.

at the end we made a joke about how the kids could eat their house as long as they used no hands....it was a joke, but we had no problem getting them to play along.
