December 2015/Gingerbread House/Decorating For Christmas

Our first and last attempt at a gingerbread house!  It was a complete disaster.  I'm not sure what we were doing wrong, but there has to be a better way!






I did not take one, single picture of the children decorating the tree.  I don't know what happened to me.  But I brought the boxes up and they decorated.  I didn't put one ornament on the tree and I didn't move anything around.  I have let go of the idea of having a perfectly decorated tree.  The kids love it this way and everyone is happy.  Every ornament on the tree, besides a few that I have given to the kids, were homemade!  We were all disappointed that we didn't go cut our tree down like last year.  We have decided that we are going to try to make this happen the weekend after Thanksgiving, because after that, things just get too crazy and we run out of time.






I caught Landon that night sitting in front of the tree just like this.  I do love this time of year!
