We try to make a gingerbread house every year. It can be hard with 4 kids because they argue about who does what and what it should look like. Some kids are more controlling than others, I'll let you make those assumptions on who I'm talking about. Well, this year I found a kit that contained four mini houses so we could make an entire village! Perfect! Each kid did their own house. It was fun and they got one-on-one time with Mom.
Evelyn did an awesome job!!
Scarlet, of course, wanted a lot of snowflake sprinkles on her house. I think she's channeling Elsa in her decorations.
This is Scarlet and Evelyn's houses. Scarlet made the Bakery and Evelyn made the Candy Shop.
The backs of their houses
Joseph's turn. He's concentrating so hard!
Very meticulous placement. His took the longest. He wanted no help and was very choosey in where everything went.
Joseph made a Chalet. Very fancy!
Lorelai went last. She had Daddy time this afternoon and went on a hike just the two of them. By the time they got home the icing was a little stiff from sitting around. Mom tried to loosen it and it got too loose! She was a good sport about it but her house isn't as refined because of this.
Lorelai is always all about symmetry and patterns
Joseph made the Chalet and Lorelai made the Toy Shop
