Our first Gingerbread House

I admit that I am a bad mommy and have never made a gingerbread house with my kids. I always thought it was way to messy to do and just didn't want to mess with all of it. :) Well, on December 23rd we went to have dinner with Derrek's Aunt LeeAnn and her kids (Ashley, Daniel and Travis). It was so great to see them!! It had been so long they had actually never met Samantha before and she is 2. :) Well, the kids were so excited to find out that they had gone out and gotten them a Gingerbread house to build. Daniel and Travis handled the structure part and then the kids got to decorate it. It actually went much more smoothly then I thought it would and a big thanks to Travis for decorating it with the kids.

Thank you Kozak Family for such a fun evening. We should absolutely do it more often. :)
