Our Gingerbread Tradition

Claire and I continued the "tradition" we started last year and made another gingerbread house for the holidays. Today we planned to use the twins' nap time for the effort, but because they both woke early, we ended up with little toddler hands sneaking pieces of candy while Claire and I worked hard to complete the projects. Claire focused primarily on the gingerbread ornaments/cookies and I focused more on the house. Here are some photos of the hard work today ...

... and one shot catches Claire licking the icing (but why else would a kid love this activity so much?) ...

... and now I'm off to plan for a (hopefully) fun Friday for the girls and me.
