Gingerbread houses

As I've done in the past years, I invited my neices and their kids over to make gingerbread houses. I started this when it was just Kendra and Sydney and now it has grown to 11 kids (actually 12, but Lindsey and Kevin were in Edmonton so Gavin didn't get a house. Next year!) My mom was here this year and she made most of the houses the day before and we also had Auntie Sylvia come to lend a pair of extra hands. Karla appreciated this as her little man was only 1 week old. We were glad that she was able to make it out the door with her 4! This was also the first year for Courtney to participate with her little guy Finn. We even managed to get the end picture with all the kids and their houses! See you all next year!

Sydney and Kendra looking very serious about their creations.



Jocelyn didn't quite understand the concept of putting candies on her house when it looked like much more fun to just eat the candies!

Owen had a definite plan for his house:  Put on as much icing as it could hold and then cover all that icing with jellybeans and gummie bears - the candies that were his favourite!

Carson being quite particular about how his candies were arranged.
