Christmas in Candyland

Happy Day After Christmas. Uncharacteristically, Austin has decided to sleep in this morning so I am going to take advantage of the time to share our Christmas with you.

We spent Christmas Eve with family at my Grandpa's house. It was a FULL house and we had a great time hanging out, just like the good old days.

The highlight of the evening was the Gingerbread house extravaganza. Behold.

Austin absolutely LOVED it. Isn't his baking apron adorable?

He piled on so much candy it was sliding down the roof! After it was all said and done, his house weighed at least twice as much as everyone else's. I was amazed that he got so into it. He was concentrating on every single piece, whereas Elijah was plucking candies of his house and into his mouth faster than his mom could stop him. It was quite a humorous scene.

While the 'craft' was intended for the kids, even the adults got in on it. Thank you, Auntie Becky for bringing some fun, we had a blast!


The finished product!

Dear Janis, It was delightful watching people, both young and old, making their gingerbread house creations. Everyone was having so much fun. I think we have a new Christmas Eve tradition to look forward to. In Love and Light, Auntie Becky
