A Lot of Gingerbread House Fun!

Yesterday Poppy and Ma had all 9 grandchildren over to decorate gingerbread houses together! The oldest 8 cousins each got their own house to decorate, and Baby Hailey got to watch and get some ideas for next year. Grandma had a place at the table for each kid, with their own house, bowl of frosting, and bowls of candy. After everyone arrived, Poppy and Grandma took over and let all of the adults go run some errands, without having to drag the kids along! I stayed around to get some shots when they started and I came back to 8 BEAUTIFUL gingerbread houses, each one uniquely decorated, and 9 very happy cousins playing together. We all stayed for dinner and dessert...yum! After a little more playing, each cousin was given their annual Christmas ornament from Poppy and Ma before they left. Jake got his Indiana Jones ornament he had been hoping for, and Brady was thrilled to see the Batman ornament waiting for him. It was truly an incredible day for everyone. Thank you, Poppy and Ma, for spending so much time with us and creating such wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!
