Girls Weekend making Gingerbread Houses

The weekend before Thanksgiving my mom, sisters Kristy and Jodi, my sis-in-law Amber (Braiden too) and my grandma Sue came and stayed over the weekend to make our annual gingerbread houses. It was such a fun weekend. My husband is the best because he let me basically kick him out of his own home so that I could have a weekend to myself with the girls. What a guy... They came on Thursday night so on Friday we went Shopping and went to lunch. On Saturday we made our houses literally all day. We stayed up every night playing games an laughing. We had some hysterical moments that we will never forget (we have them on video) but for the sake of our dignity we will pass on showing them. I absolutely love this tradition of making gingerbread houses that we have. This is our 8th year making them and I look forward to it all year long. It is so fun to get together and be silly girls. Even my 70 year old grandma can still be silly. Trust me... Thank you my family for such a great weekend and all the husbands that helped with children to make it possible. Can't wait till next year. Grandma be practicing for your next performance...
Gifts, gifts and more gifts. I felt like it was Christmas. We all got presents. Of course with the gingerbread theme...
I had to add in a picture of the cute little guy that came and had his first sleep over with girls.

Thanks Jenny and Steven for your home. What a mess we made but it cleaned up so quickly. I haven't laughted so hard as we did but what do you expect when you get some tired silly females together. My house was far below you guys but I did have a offer to sell it. But I gave it to Cassidy, Baylee and Cody. Which they loved.. Jenny your Sunday dinner was fantastic.
