Second Annual Gingerbread House Building

This morning, thanks to the Eakin family and their love of holiday traditions, we took part in the second annual gingerbread making festivities at Pizza West. What could be better than all you can eat pizza and endless amounts of sugar? We went with the Eakins and the Titus family and the kids all came up with great designs for there house. As you can see from above, Chris enjoyed eating and constructing his house. He did a lot more of the house on his own this year. Here he is putting the cinnamon toast crunch shingles on the house…

Here is Chris with Olivia and Elliot…

And then the finished product when we got home…

It's not so easy to see but on the right side of the house is a yard for the dogs to run around in. There are two animal crackers representing Kasey and Holly (Chris wanted to build houses for them but there was no extra gingerbread pieces this year) and little candies serving as their toys. Now that we have a dog who can actually reach the counter this year, we will have to store the house in an extra safe location!
