We Love Gingerbread Houses!


This is Austin with his friend Sid.  Sid is from Ireland and Austin finds Ireland a very fascinating country.  Hey you can't blame him it is a country  filled with Leprechauns.


This is Austin with his buddy Liam.  As you can tell they share the same hair cut!  Thanks for the inspiration Kathleen!


Last but not least Austin with his classmate Will.  They were just as excited to eat the house as they were to build it!  The boys were so kind to let our precious ballerina join them!  She loves hanging out with her brother (especially when he has friend over) funny how that works!

We have a special rule in our home. When we make a Gingerbread house we get to eat it right away.  This is mutually beneficial.  The kids love to eat them and I don't have to stare at stale gingerbread for weeks on end!  So...not only did we get our Gingerbread house fix for the year we also got our sugar fix!!!

When I looked at Austin just now I immediately thought of Pres. Uchtdorf dropping to one knee and greeting your son in Chinese. How sweet an experience that must have been! Thank you for sharing what he said about us and our building situation. So grateful to be a part of a worldwide church with leadership that reaches our wonderful little branch. Happy New Year, my friend!
