catching up.

each year as a family Christmas tradition we make ginger bread (or graham cracker houses). we usually have people over to do this with us, but this year we just made them with garrans parents and siblings.
since i am behind on posting i will just do a quick run through on each persons house. this is cullans. very colorful!this is aunt silara's. i love her front door.this is the front and back of mine. i guess half way through i started going for two different looks. i was trying to create a log cabin look, but then added bricks. oh well.this is garrans house. i think it looks kind of like the house from charlie and the chocolate factory.this is Kael's house. can you guess what one of his favorite treats is??grandpa g went for a more abstract look.grandma g was not finished when i snapped this picture, but it looks pretty good so far.i think uncle sam just went for the candy shack approach. I'm pretty sure the inside is full of candy. ;0)
we had fun making these. it is one of my favorite things to do with the kids.

That looks like a fun tradition. Maybe we'll have to do that next year.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
