This weekend I tried making a gingerbread house with Fatima for the first time - her first time ever having a gingerbread house, and my first time trying to make the cookies that make the house. The results were mixed, due to the near-disasters that the ginger cookies encountered, but Fatima had never seen a house like this before so she made no judgments. :) Her cousin Oralis and sister Sheny came over for the decorating of the house (after I had cemented the pieces together the night before), and we all had a lot of fun! Even though they'd never decorated one before, Fatima and Oralis were naturals at designing the outside. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for sending down the decorations! :)
They look like they had fun! Your kitty is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty darn nice for their first try! Have they eaten it yet? Or are they being disciplined about waiting a bit? hee hee....
ReplyDeleteLooks like Elote is a cuddler :o}
How fun...I've never done the baking of the gingerbread either...it looks like yours stayed together!
ReplyDeleteYes, Elote is a big cuddler! On the down side, that means she cries and cries when she has to be all alone. She loves kisses (and trying to eat the boogers straight out of my nose, which is a little gross), stealing the heating pad, and hogging the bed. :)
ReplyDeleteI told the girls that they can eat the house on Friday when their friends (who are generally the children of my friends) come over for our cookie and eggnog party. They're being good about waiting!
I love it! So fun! And Elote is precious!!!
