We had a really fun visit with Tim and Kathi this past week and we celebrated both Jack's birthday and Christmas. It was a weekend full of the four basic food groups (according to Elf and to Jack): Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup! Syrup on his breakfast waffles, lots of candy and candy canes for the ginger bread houses and then Jack rummaged through the Halloween stash and dug out some candy corn. The food pyramid was complete. (Read: eating vegetables and healthy food happens at our home, some participate in vegetable consumption willingly...others by force)
I was sooo soo glad Kathi and I worked together on the Gingerbread houses. 2 kids and a lot of icing is stressful on just one adult. But with two it was really fiun. EG covered a gingerbread man in frosting and said he was "Frosting the Snowman." She definitely gets her silly humor from her dad who loves play-on-word kind of jokes.
I kept the icing for a week just in case we needed repairs and the day I threw it away, the roof collapsed on Emma Grace's house. Oh well. It was fun for a week!
