The famous Gingerbread house.

I love when you are in 1st grade that you get to go in and make gingerbread homes. It is so fun and the kids have such a fun time.

I was so excited to do this with Jacob. I have gone with Emma, Drew and now finally Jacob.Then after we decorated the kids sang and danced a song. It was so cute.

We got them

Have you just ever been so excited. We have been looking for about a year now. And around last Feb they were just out of our price range. But we looked 3 weeks ago and they were on sale even better. We were so excited and we were excited that North East here in Cedar City could help us out. They are so great and have put a smile on my face. They were used for the first time to have my Book club over . They were not going to bring them that day but I needed them and they came a little before book club. I love to get new things.

Making Pretzels.

e

After 30 plates & 30 bags of pretzels. I think we are done. I let Emma help me this year. She is such a big girl . I can not believe she will be 12 in March. Where did the time go. I wanted her to help me out. And she did a great job. Drew did a good job at the sprinkling. Jacob had a great time trying to get to have a taste as often as he could. We had a good time talking and listening to Christmas music. We had a good time delivering we went with Kourt and kids. We had a good time. We just have a few more to deliver. The kids love helping me make things. I really should let them help more often. I started making pretzels when we got married when I was living in VA. We did not make carmels this year. Because last year we could not get them out of the pan and I need to start earlier. So we both can work.
