ginger B's!

Over the holidays I decided I'd like to start a tradition.  I would make homemade gingerbread houses for each of the cousins and invite them over to decorate them!  I sent out invitations to make it official.  I would slowly start adding bags of candy to my grocery list and build up a good stock of candies and trimmings and I found cute trays to make them portable.  It was so much fun making them!  Thank goodness my sweet mom helped me.  On our first try they turned out...good...BUT, I knew they would most likely cave in, they were too soft.  (so they were given to my kids without them knowing my little secret ;) and the second batch was quite a bit better and much sturdier, so they were given to the cousins.  Landon's was the first to fall, and he was a good sport! We loved having Shane there, he made everyone laugh and at least his made it home before it fell!  and those were the only two casualties.  Sweet Aunt Heather brought pizza and cake, because the next day was Stratton's birthday!! I really hope it sticks, we had so much fun!  Take a look...

*Jaxon gets another free pass, he was doing baptisms for the dead.
I'm hoping next year we can get Jaxon, Cody, Jake, Travis and Ryan to join their "Aunt Shel-B's Ginger B's".  Hey, they can bring their girlfriends!!  Whatayasay guys??
ps.  If I end up being called "Aunt B" then I guess I'm the one who started it.
