Every year Mom gives the girls gingerbread houses to decorate. We go the "easy" route and get the ones that are already preassembled! One time, we tried to do our own, and that was quite a disaster! The girls had a lot of fun decorating them this year. I was truly impressed with Brooke's precision and design! Adilyn kept hers very patterned, and Kacy made hers silly. They all captured their personalities quite well! They liked decorating the houses, but I think they liked sneaking all the candy decorations even more. Kacy's house had a gummy bear roof, and somehow by the end of the day every single gummy bear had been stolen :)
We did the gingerbread houses on Christmas Eve this year, so we still had another sugary treat for the day - Santa's cookies! We made sugar cookies and used our cookie cutters to make the shapes. Everyone got pretty floury and had a great time! Mimi and Pops came down for Christmas this year, and they made it in time to help us bake and decorate our cookies.
After they were done, everyone decorated them all up with icing and LOTS of sprinkles, as usual! We left the cookies, a note, and all the other treats for Santa and his buddies.
