Well, my mom wanted Anna Grace to enjoy decorating a Gingerbread house this year, so she bought one of those nice and easy kits at the store. Anna Grace and I went to Greenville for a few days and while we were there we decorated the Gingerbread house. Mom and Dad did a great job putting the house together. Once it was together we had to let it sit for about an hour before we could decorate it. Of course Anna Grace did not understand that part. About every 5 minutes we heard, "When can we decorate the gingerbread house?" Finally it was time! We all took our places at the table and with lots of fun candy, we decorated the gingerbread house. Anna Grace said, "I sure hope the gingerbread house doesn't run away while we try to decorate it." She was also worried about the gingerbread man. We told her the gingerbread man was sleeping inside the house. Of course that didn't suit, so Big Pop had to make the Gingerbread man "talk it up" with Anna Grace from inside the house.
It is FINALLY time to decorate the gingerbreaad house!!! Yea! (The duck looking in the window is Afleck, my parent's duck, dressed up like Santa for the holidays. No, it is not real, but he has an outfit for every month and AG LOVES to change his clothes! Her least favorite outfit he has is his witch costume for Halloween. She always takes him out of it b/c she says it scares her.)

Nana is putting more "glue" on the house, so the candies will stick.

Now it's time for a family picture with our "masterpiece"! Nana is saying, "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!"

Kayne,
That looks fun. Maybe Hazel and I will need to try that.
