Gingerbread time

Tonight we are getting in the Christmas spirit. The other night I had purchased a gingerbread house kit to put together. I have always wanted to make one, but was unsure about making one with Hadley. I was afraid my OCD tendencies would take over and I wouldn't let her participate, because it wouldn't turn out perfect. I got it framed up, we let it sit and then we went to work. Hads made me laugh immediately and I decided however it turned out was okay. As we were putting the balls on the roof, Hads told me she wanted to do an AB pattern (red, green, red, green), WOW!!!! I thought I was seeing a glimpse of her OCD until she got to the windows and tree. When I asked her what kind of pattern she was going to do, she said "Mom sometimes you don't need a pattern." We had fun, I let her do whatever with it and I think it turned out pretty perfect!!!!

Ellison was there, hanging out on the table in her bouncy set. I would like to say she enjoyed watching us, but she slept.
