Yesterday we had some friends over and made some gingerbread houses. The kids had fun. (thanks Megan for the royal icing recipe!)
Blake worked hard on making his house.
And eating his house!
For some reason the pics of Andrew building his were blurry so here are a few of him with his house. He was pretty proud!

He's waiting for me to turn my head so he can dig in!
The final houses. Andrew's is on the left and Blake's is on the right. I did the front door on Blake's house...just so y'all don't think my child is too gifted!
Then today we painted some trains. I found these wooden trains at Hobby Lobby and figured it'd be a fun thing for the boys to paint.

Andrew's masterpiece!So, it was a good weekend. I am anxious to get this week started! This is Andrew's last week before Christmas break. He's not going to know what to do without school for two weeks. Then, Friday we are celebrating our Christmas before we head to see family. I think I'm more excited about Christmas than the boys are!!!
