My boys love our tradition of decorating a gingerbread house during the holidays. In fact, it's the only holiday decoration presently up in the house! Hopefully that will change soon. Jeff- get the ladder and hang up those lights....please!)
Caden has been a masterful house builder and decorator for a few years now, and this year Lukas was really able to join in on the fun. Each boy had his own side of the house and yard to decorate (to avoid fighting, and it worked) and the end result was great. In fact, Caden asked me if this was the best gingerbread house in the whole wide world, and I said Yes!, of course. Lukas was a candy fiend, I've never seen that kid devour so much candy in a period of time. The boys don't understand my rule of not touching the gingerbread house, now that it's done (Jeff either, for that matter). But for me, this is now a holiday decoration, so hands off :)
