The Bakers

The Competition begins!

Going pretty good everyone is excited and into it.....

Then Hallie backs out and is annoyed with Zac....

Vance is having a good time in his new little Christmas P.J's....
Zac putting way to much thought in and Hallie laughing at his silliness actually we were all laughing.. Oscar opt out of helping, he wanted to be the judge, Zac was trying to hurry so he could go hang with his friends..... and so he just started slopping the frosting on and throwing candy on and some ran to their bedrooms mad, cause they wanted to have the best house and someone was not wanting to cooperate, so then the fun began and well this is what we got for our house...





This is our lovely Gingerbread house...











The picture are sort of out of order, but here is Zac trying to master the house with much intent...

Working good with each other and having the best time..






















Here he is the boy we have been waiting for, for two years to be here for Christmas and to bring laughter into all the Holiday events take place during Christmas with our families.. by the time we were all done and Zac was out the door, Our house took last place and Hallie and Oscar were not liking this evening, but all and all it was a blast and we had a great time and we are so thankful that we have Zac here to celebrate this Christmas Time with us... despite the Gingerbread house making.....

I don't do Gingerbread houses...they make me crazy...and too much mess. If I were you and HAD to make them, I would opt for doing ONE family house together...but then what do I know....

I think you should never stop the tradition! Too few of us do it anymore and you will look back and be glad...such a lot of work but such memories! I love it!

You are brave to take it on! It is a lot of work and mess. I make them, but only because my kids LOVE it. I sort of dread it every year! It looks like it was a lot of fun though!

Zac, come on, there were even lines drawn for the windows and doors! Such a non-conformist!
