Some time after Thanksgiving, I started thinking about Christmas and traditions. We have some, but I wanted to start something new. I thought it would be fun to have all of Jyson's cousins over to make gingerbread houses. I did some research. The best "glue"- royal icing with pasteurized egg whites so the kids could eat it. On one website, I saw the idea to use aluminum tins as the base. That worked well. I called my sisters and John's sister Julie. They thought it would be fun. We decided IF it was successful, we'd do it again.
Sadly, Julie & boys couldn't make it, but my sisters brought a few of their kids. Here was the table before they came:
The process begins...
Jyson, Luke, and Parker
John supervising the work.
First one finished - Madison.
Parker's house.
Hunter's house.
Jyson and Luke.
Must have a funny photo.
The sister supervisors.
We decided it was so much fun that it WILL be an annual tradition. We're excited to have a little experience behind us and look forward to more "advanced" houses next year. Bring on December 2010.
