All of this was done at Grammy's house on Christmas Eve. I know Grammy loved watching her son accomplish this creative project with her grandkids. We all watched in amazement...
Zachary waited very patiently to start helping. He loved holding the bags on candy while he waited.
It was time to start ... the peppermints went on first.
Carlee looked just like her daddy preforming this task with such skill and precision.
Zachary decorated his gingerbread cookie in the meantime and ate some candy along the way. I don't even know how much candy he had, but it seemed like every time I looked at him he was enjoying yet another piece.
He did a great job on his Christmas tree cookie. I think he has a piece of candy in his mouth.... not hard to believe.
Carlee did a great job on her cookies as well. She wanted to make the gingerbread house and cookies look just like the one on the box. Absolutely perfect!
Everybody busy at work.... so serious.
It's done and looks incredible. The peppermints sunk in a little and so did the walls, but who can tell. It was a fun memory to make. We all enjoyed eating it the next few days. Yummy!!
We might make this a tradition, but I'd like to limit the amount of sweets around the house. The Happy Birthday Jesus cake might take precedence next year. As for this year, we had both.... too many sweets in my opinion.... gotta love the holidays.

So impressed by that gingerbread house. The one we made last year was a goopy candy-dripping mess...we didn't even attempt one this year! Good job Greg!
