Annual Gingerbread Decorating

We had originally planned to go see the lights at Callaway Gardens in GA this evening, but due to some bad planning we were not able to leave this afternoon.  Plan B - I really was not prepared for plan B, but I braved the holiday crowds to go to Wal-Mart and Costco to find gingerbread houses and candies to decorate the houses.  JM stayed at home with the kids, and they enjoyed some outside fun since the weather was quite warm today.  

We had a pizza supper and began decorating.  Lyndsey even got in on the action this year.  She enjoyed putting the candies on the house.  Then she discovered the frosting and candy was better to eat.  We always have fun decorating, and the houses always turn out much different then I expect!  Uncle Michael - the kids missed having you decorate with them.  They all remembered how funny and fun  you were last year!

Here are the kids creations all in a row (birth order to be exact)!
