Gingerbread Houses and Cookies


 This month has been crazy. It has gone by so fast! We tried our best to fit in all of our December traditions, and I feel like we were pretty successful. The girls made gingerbread houses. Well, Leah did, and Juliet concentrated on tasting the ingredients to make sure they would be satisfactory, if she were to use them. And then yelling at me when I nonchalantly tried to stick candy onto her house. 
 Leah was the most excited to eat the leftover frosting out of the squeeze thing. 
 We also made cookies. Here are the girls looking sad because they had to wait for Chris to get home from walking the dog before they started frosting and decorating. 

 They were happy to start. Juliet frosted and ate a few cookies while the rest of us concentrated on frosting and decorating. 
 Leah was really into it this year and spent a lot of time on her designs. She did great! 

 Here are some of the finished products. Not bad.
