a family tradition~

for the last few years we have had a tradition of making ginger bread houses (or graham cracker houses, depending on how my day went=). anyways we always invite the missionaries over because we think it is fun to have them but also something fun that they get to do around the holidays.

tonight was our big ginger bread house build off.

i have to admit that usually i am really into it and spend a lot of time on my house.

i don't know if i was just tired or what but this year mine did not come out as well.

oh well there is always next year to redeem myself!
