Christmas Fun!










One tradition at our house is to build and decorate Ginger Bread houses each year. We have been doing this for many years. Julie cooks the dough in order to prepare the houses and then all of our kids spend 2-3 hours decorating the houses with everything from m&ms and peppermints to "snaps" which are a type of pretzel to other candies. This Christmas season, Jennie and Dustin, Katie and her friend, Josh, TJ, Ellie, and Emily all took the challenge of decorating two houses. Dustin and Jennie took the one they decorated to their home in Wake Forest. We had a great time eating "junk" while lavishly decorating these ginger bread houses. They really turned out quite nice as you can see in the pictures.
