Saturday night of Grandma and Grandpa's visit we were going to go to Zoo Lights. However, Grandpa and Kellan had been fighting cold's and we decided that a night in sounded better than a night out in the cold. It's a good thing because we had to wake Kellan up from his nap for dinner! He's been taking a lot of monster sized naps lately. So instead of Zoo Lights, we stayed in and put together a Gingerbread house we had bought at Costco. It was SO much fun. The kids LOVED it and the paparazzi were out, so this event is getting its own post.
We started by creating the tree, which Mom was in charge of squirting the frosting on while the boys placed each piece one at a time.
Next up, we tackled the house. Once again, Mommy put the frosting in place while the boys followed with delicately and strategically placing small pieces of candy.

"Watch Mama"
"I DID IT!"
"I DID IT"
Piece by Piece
Over and Over
Oliver had his eye brows squinted and was in high focus on his side of the house.
As the boys continued to place each decoration, Mommy went back to decorate the tree.
Time to landscape the yard with bushes.
Check out those lips on Kellan.
Ta Da... The finished masterpiece.
But we're not done here!
Daddy and Grandpa came over to admire the masterpiece before demolition.
Oh that's right, we told them they could eat it.
They stared at it in disbelief for a while.
Oliver giggled nervously and Kellan plotted how he was going to eat the top of the tree.
Lips first, apparently.
MMMmmm???
.... Not bad??
Oliver went for the roof line.
Kellan went back for seconds on the tree topper.
Oliver was still working on the roof line.
I love this one. Tongue Out, DIVE DIVE DIVE!!
"That's right Mr, Snowman. You're next."
....
"Or... maybe I'll save you for later."
The boys loved it.
Decorating and Demolishing.
Don't worry, they didn't eat too much of it. It was actually quite hard and not very tasty. It was fun to try though.
