Today while youngest kiddo was taking a nap I let the two older kiddos build a gingerbread house. Yes, I’m sure youngest kiddo would have had fun decorating it also but I can only handle so much family fun or I get a headache. That’s how wonderfully motherly I am.
I have always wanted to do this with the kiddos so this year I actually bought a kit and hid it in my room until Christmas break. (Hey, I need something to keep them entertained. What’s better than gingerbread, icing and lots of candy?) (See how motherly I am.)
The kiddos loved it! They had so much fun putting it together and decorating it and for the first time all day they weren’t fighting. I loved it! For the first time they weren’t fighting all day!
We had a lot of fun and next year I will definitely do it again and quite possibly let the youngest kiddo help also. (Please let me still have my headache then because I am so wonderfully motherly.)
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!

Hey! Joshua and I made this same one last year! Ours was inadvertently thrown away after Christmas by an overzealous friend of my mom’s who was helping her clean.
