Gingerbread House & Santa Claus

The Christmas drama continued as we tried to decorate a gingerbread house. This year we bought a kit and we still struggled. Next year I'm going to have my mom help out. She always made it look so easy and fun. I don't know what I do wrong, but it's never easy...

Rachel had a lot of fun sprinkling sprinkles and putting candy on the house. She's a bit of a perfectionist... And Audrey just wanted to eat the candy... Anyhow, after two nights of working on it, here's the finished product:
We have some friends at church who have a special relationship with Santa. So, every year they have Santa over to their house and invite families to come take pictures. So, on the evening on December 5th, we did just that. And both girls did well - no tears from either of them, a big smile from Rachel, and a teeny bit of a smile from Audrey:
We certainly appreciate our friends who open their home to us. We never have to wait in line or pay money for pictures with Santa! :)
