GingerBread Houses

This year some friends in the ward gave us some gingerbread houss they had baked and built! They were all ready to be decorated and they even donated the frosting bags and candy too! I surely didn't have energy for such an occasion this holiday season so I was thrilled when they offered these houses to our family.The kids sure loved to decorate them...we made it a family night activity. Kaylie's house...

Dallyn was super proud of his creation...and yes he and Kyler insisted on wearing their Jazz Jerseys to bed even though I thought it was super cold outside!!

Cam's house...complete with a roofer on top...as our neighbor fixed our roof for us after the crazy storm we had here in December!!

Kyler's House...

This year we did a different treat for our neighbors...instead of homemade goodies we "Whisked" our friends a Merry Kiss-miss and a "Happy Root Beer" when we caroled. We put together these whisks full of 'kisses' and then handed everyone a rootbeer as it coordinated with the song. Yes, we thought it was pretty clever although we didn't come up with the idea!
