Gingerbread House

By the looks of this picture, it's seems like the kids and I had a mellow and quiet evening together making this gingerbread house...

But looks can be deceiving. Things are rarely quiet and mellow around here I'm afraid. These pictures are a better reflection of our evening together...

It would be nice to have things a little more calm around here- but truly, these kids bring so much LIFE to my days and joy to each season. I wouldn't have it any other way.

This was Jakey's first time making a gingerbread house, and he really thought it was great fun...

Until he found out we had to wait to eat it. Poor guy, haha!
But it's a good life lesson for him. We don't always get what we want. The sooner he learns that, the happier we will all be!
