Gingerbread Houses





Shea, Elisabeth and Michaela came over the other night to decorate gingerbread houses. They brought one baked by Shea's sister, Carrie and we had one that we picked up at TJ's on our last Phoenix trip. Olivia and Michaela had a messy, fun time with the "kid" house. Daddy put together the other one which was really more of a Swiss chalet. It looked like all of the houses in Big Bear or Munds Park. They both came out beautiful! Olivia said something funny while she was decorating. She asked if she could eat a red hot candy. I said, "No baby, it's too hot for you." She touched it and looked at me and said, "But Mommy, it doesn't feel very hot!" I remember my mom giving me Big Red gum when I was little and I would always yell, "It's HOT!!"
