You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread Man

Last year was the first time Reagan made a gingerbread house - same as me! So we were excited to continue the tradition this year at the Schmeltz house. This year that Donaldson family joined us as well - which was very fun. Christen was really on the ball this year and had the houses assembled when we arrived - ready to be decorated. Reagan was slightly disappointed that she didn't get to put it together, but the disappointment quickly changed to joy when she saw the selection of candies for her house.
All of the kids did a great job decorating their houses - and eating candies as they went along. In keeping with last year's tradition, the kids lined up by the Christmas tree to display their masterpieces and take pictures. Reagan was trying to get Will to look at his house while we were taking pictures - she was trying to replicate the picture we have on our refrigerator from last year!
Finn and Nola didn't get to participate this year but they had fun playing. Finn is so cute when he says 'Nola' and Nola is always excited to eat in Finn's chair at the counter. Next year should be even more exciting if those 2 get to join in on the fun!
