Making Gingerbread Houses!

Brenden is so creative, he did a wonderful job on
his Gingerbread house and it looks great!

Tammi's Gingerbread House. It's very simple

I was too busy helping kids with frosting!:)

Mackay's Gingerbread house!

Doesn't Erin's Gingerbread house make you just smile?

I love it.

Alaina's gingerbread house is so cute,
she had a blast decorating it!

Clayton did a great job on his Gingerbread house,
He's got such a big sweet tooth..he loved all the frosting!

We have made it a family tradition to make

Gingerbread house every year sometime

before christmas. The kids have a blast and

love every minute of it.

We like to listen to christmas music and

decorate our houses, sneek a piece of candy

or two and just enjoy each other's company.

I know this is a memory that

we all will cherish!

gOinG to ThE DeNtiSt!!!

Took all the kids to the Dentist today for thier 6 month check up! I dread the dentist, I've never liked going to the Dentist. When we go it means many appointments to follow. But we have been very lucky with Healthy Teeth for the most part for the last year. Alaina has never had a cavity, thank goodness! Clayton is also Cavity free. Mackay has no cavities, only needs a filling for one tooth and they say he may need braces soon, ugh! Brenden has 2 small cavities.
