After a very restful (and unproductive) Saturday, tonight was "Gingerbread House 2008". Actually, this year it was "Gingerbread House, Caroling, and Cookie Decorating 2008". Regardless, this tradition started last year with the Griners with these adorable kits that Mary gets that are mostly assembled leaving the fun stuff to do! A loud dinner with very excited kids was followed by some neighborhood caroling (Max played the cymbals) and then it was Southern Living--gingerbread style. I must say, Max got a little more involved this year. By "involved" I mean that he was taking off the gumdrops and cramming them in his mouth twice as fast as I was putting them on the rood. He certainly loved the icing, too! The "big kids" have come a long way in their independence with the houses. Poor Mary decided she needed her own house next year because her boys wouldn't even let her get near their houses this year. What a wonderful way to head into this last full week of this glorious season. Can you tell I'm happy about only 4 more days with students?!?
Merry Christmas!
