Gingerbread Party

Every year we get together with some friends and make gingerbread houses. It's a favorite activity of my kids, and they look forward to it every year.



Of course, sometimes eating the frosting is more fun.

My friend who hosts the party every year has a daughter in high school, and she brings her friends to help out. This year we made cookies, which was right up Andrew's alley.




It came as no surprise that he ended up in a flour fight with a bunch of high school kids.




The older kids also happen to be in the band, and are very musically talented (one of them got into Juliard!). The Christmas music they play every year is awesome, and is Willa's favorite part. She loves the instruments.
