Karen called the other day and told Morgan that she had bought gingerbread houses for each family to make together. Morgan's jaw fell open while she was talking to Grandma, and she got a huge smile on her face. She pulled the phone away from her and said, "Mom! We get to make gingerbread houses!" We were all really excited about building our own family gingerbread house. Karen had bought these wonderful gingerbread kits from Costco. The had all the house pieces, icing, & candy to make the perfect gingerbread house.

I'm not sure who was more excited- Brian or the kids. :) Brian assembled the house perfectly and the kids and I helped decorate, and of course eat the candy.

What a cute little gingerbread house! Jackson decorated his entire gingerbread man with candy beads (the right one by the gingerbread house) And yes, as if we hadn't eaten enough sugar, Brian ate the rest of the frosting. Funny guy.

The completed project. I didn't realize until we were taking the picture that we had our own gingerbread man in the picture. Maybe a little too much sugar. :) It was such a fun activity & we look forward to doing it in the years to come.
