Gingerbread House

Last night, we all made our FIRST Gingerbread house! I was going to do it with the boy's during the day, but decided that Dad had to be a part of it, so it turns out I was right, because it was much more enjoyable! Here's our house....

Dad's holding the roof on, waiting for the icing to dry.....

I put the icing on, dad's holding the chimney on, while the boy's are decorating!

The finished house!

The boy's did most all of the candy decorating, we helped a bit suggesting where to put some, but they did SO wonderful! Canyon designed the front walkway to the house....

"Rivers side" of the house....

"Canyons side" of the house is on the left...

I knew there would be no keeping them away from eating some, so I told them before we started, that if we could get through building it, I'd take pictures, and then they could have at it!

So, here is River enjoying some.....

Canyon went for the gumballs first.....

Even Dad's having some (I stole a few pieces too!)....

So, it was fun, and I think I'll buy another kit next pay day, so we can do it again!

Halloween!

HALLOWEEN!!! We had some fun on Halloween last Friday, here are some pictures. We did our trick or treating in town, at the businesses, and we went along with our friends, Jacki, Mike, Brennen and Quinlan.

Here is Canyon and River with their hair ready to go! You can barely see Canyon's scabbed owie on his eyebrow....


Canyon, drinking his pop....we had some pizza before heading out for the candy!
Here is Canyon (Ninja Turtle Muscle Man) and River (Bear) in town.

River was a pretty quick study of the candy grab!

Here are the boy's at our old neighbors on Pine Street, Michael and Susan.
