Every year the Packards get together for the annual Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses. This year to my surprise Christopher was ready to join in the architectural fun instead of just eating the candy. This last year his artistic talents have really shined! I'm amazed by his imagination and his attention to detail. Especially for a 4 and half year old. He's better than me! I have no artistic ability. Stick figures and one dimensional flowers are my forte.
However the best part was everything that he used to build with he also tasted. A little frosting here and some for me, a little frosting there and more for me, candy here and a lick for me. He was so involved it was great watching! Almost like he wasn't consious that he was eating everything after decorating with it. And he was the LAST ONE DONE!! But here's the masterpieces!
This is how Mason spent his time while we made Gingerbread Houses. He laid under the table and cried. Unfortunately when he wakes up he is sooooo onery. It's better to just ignore him. He has "2" written all over him!
Billy Building his "Tank"
My Little Creation. Told ya, No Creativity coming out of my veins.
It was Oma's & Opa's Anniversary so they made a Anniversary Cake for their Gingerbread House. LOL Can't wait till their 50th!
This is Billy's little Bro. I couldn't leave this one out!! LOL

How fun! I think we will have to try that next year, I remember making them in school but not since I have been married. Looks like you had a wonderful time. Very cute pics too of getting a Christmas tree! I am sad that the holidays are about over. Time flies. Hunter boy will be 5 tomorrow and your little guy in March right? Seems like yesterday when we both went into labor at work. LOL!
