It's tradition in the Burnham family every Christmas to make Gingerbread houses and yesterday was the day! Everyone was able to make it, which was a miracle in itself ;0) as poor Rita struggled to find a day where we all could get together. Jaysen and I decided to ditch our ward yesterday and head on over to Jerome for church so that we could be there for the big event. Where we don't get out of church until 5:00 it really makes getting together on Sundays hard. So, we happily went to church in Jerome and were able to get out at a normal hour! ;0)
The kids had so much fun decorating their houses. Even the older ones got into it. This was Mackenzee's first year of really being able to participate. She came last year, but didn't really grasp the concept as a one year old ;0) and so she just played with Jaysen while Landon and I decorated the house. But this year, she got her own half of the house and did a great job! I didn't even have to help her beyond the icing. Landon did a great job on his half too, and I gave him the front of the house to make beautiful. He added candy cane light posts to it...it turned out cute.

What a fun tradition! You poor thing. Church until 5? Next year we go from 1:30 to 4:30. I can't wait til we get some new building built!
Thanks for posting the pictures. I almost feel like I was there. I just finished putting together houses for my preschool kids to decorate tomorrow. Rachel and Aubrey will decorate theirs on Friday. A friend here has a gingerbread house party every year. It is fun, but I would still love to be there to decorate them with all of you.
