And now to show everyone our tradition on Mike's birthday. Ever since L was 2 we have bought a gingerbread house for Mike and the boys to make. This is 11th year that they have done this...I think. And it never ceases to amaze me how UGLY they turn out...haha.
Tonight they put it together, C gets everything ready, we buy extra candy, because there is never enough in the kit. And then the assembly...so far so good. I take a few pictures, I don't help do this project, I never have, it's their Thing! So they decide to decorate the roof before they put it on the house...hmmmm, not a good idea. After alot of laughter and eating most of the candy...this is how it turned out....the roof pieces wouldn't stay attached, Mr L decided to uses the chimney and a tree to brace the roof on one side, the other side...no saving it! they just lied it beside the house and gave up. Mr C had us all laughing so hard that Mike had to get up and walk away. L was doing that laugh that sounds like an asthma attack...you know.. holding his chest and sucking in air ,like it was the last breathe he would take. L and C had a hoot. L said it was the best house they had ever made....he is still laughing.
This is the one they will remember ALWAYS!
