Gingerbread House Festival

The Slichtas have a tradition of doing gingerbread houses at Christmas time.  We decided to do it after a family Sunday dinner so it could be funner with everyone and so we could have WAY more stuff to decorate with.

We LOVE having Bubba around and so happy he would fly in from Seattle to join in the festivities.  Everything is twice as fun with him.  Same with Maryn.  So with the 2 of them together we had double the fun!

Careful and precious is cute little Lexy.

Oh, just look at my baby girl with her gingerbread house.  She just wanted to be simple and clean this year with her house... (or maybe just get it done fast cuz she doesn't have the patience to spend a lot of time on detail.)

Of course Ady pays attention to detail and design.  She wants to be elaborate and careful.

Everyone's houses really showed off their personality.  Emmy used as much candy as she could while being careful and cute and Kaden ended up using tons of random stuff with no rhyme or reason to his house.  

We laughed that Bubba is still considered one of "the kids" and was included in the kids picture.  He's such a good sport.

A family that creates gingerbread houses together stays together.  

Happy Holidays!
