Post Christmas Fun

Monday we went to Grandma O's for our annual gingerbread house party. This year since Uncle M and M were here we also exchanged cousin gifts with the family. We had a yummy dinner, exchanged gifts, and then made gingerbread houses. This was the first year we all baked real gingerbread and preassembled the houses. Our family was lucky Dad has the week off--he did the baking and constructing, something I would never have tried. After seeing him do it I think I can manage just fine next year. Some things are not as difficult as I tend to think they are!
