I Made A Gingerbread House




I have looked forward to doing projects with my daughter.  Gingerbread houses are one of them.


Liliah was so happy to see all those little packages of candy dumped on the plate


Are we having fun or what?!

 
So. . . I can have 5 candies for each one I put on the house?



She stuck with me through the whole project and oohed and aahed.  
Daddy also joined in as the handyman to repair the broken tree & gingerbread man.  Thanks honey for being our photographer

 



 
I wonder if I can sneak another piece . . .


Our first creation together

Liliah discovered her stocking once I put this doll in it.  She points at it and I tell her very excitedly, "Its for you, that's your Christmas present"....she puts her hand over her mouth to show her appreciation.  She has not asked or fussed about getting it down.  I purchased this sweet little yarn doll for her in Guangzhou, China.  It's a momma with her baby tied on her back.

Impressive! We made gingerbread men this year. Maybe next year we'll attempt the house!
