Gingerbread Houses

Our usual Christmas tradition having the grand kids over to make Gingerbread Houses. They had lots of fun creating their own Gingerbread house, then we decorated little gingerbread men, and decorated their own yummy chocolate suckers.They made snowmen,and Christmas tree suckers. They ate them as fast, as they made them. Then they decided to get the shovels out of the garage and dig a big hole in our back yard dirt pile, they don't have any dirt in their back yard, and you know how boys love to play in the dirt.They dug a big hole and buried their treasure in it.They plan to dig it up the next visit.Then they had ice cream treats which they enjoyed while swinging in the swing. I also made my cookies for my friends and neighbors, maybe as many as 10 dozen. Then I taught Dawson to play a Christmas song on the piano. A big day to remember.
