New Tradition

We have enjoyed making ginger bread houses before, but this is the first time in a long time we created them from scratch. We split up in teams; Andrea and Megan made one house, Audrey and Adrian worked together on another and Allan and I designed one.  Andrea baked the gingerbread last night and each team “glued” them together to sit overnight.  This morning we spent a few hours decorating our houses.  

We had so much fun, that we decided to make this a yearly tradition.  Except next year we plan to draw names for teams.  All of the houses turned out wonderfully and we will enjoy them a few days before “maybe” eating them.

Which of these houses is your favorite?

  • “Pooh Bear’s Hut”
  • “Merry Grinchmas”
  • “White Christmas”

Needed Break

Mark and Katie were able to come over this weekend. Mark and Audrey both had homework, so I am glad we decided to spend one day playing and hung around the house the other days.

The dunes were very popular this weekend, but we were thankful to find a quiet corner to ourselves. We played in the strong waves at first, but then moved to a less rocky section of beach with quieter (but still strong ) waves.

After spending all day there, we came home sun burnt, tired and extremely rested.
