We can tell that the kiddos are getting older, mainly from the addition of an offical kiddie table for lunch.
After lunch (and while Ethan was napping), we got to the decorating. We opted to go with store-bought gingerbread kits this year instead of making it ourselves. While we ended up saving a lot of time, it seemed to be at the expense of the structural integrity of the houses. Some people had a hard time keeping the roof together!
And as always, some of the best parts of the decorating is making sure we are using "quality" ingredients.
Audrey and Jill doing some taste-testing. Here are the three kiddos out playing after everyone (except the parents) had a nap.
Another year, and another great set of gingerbread living-spaces!
And it didn't end there, either. During the gathering, Justin and Erin announced that Audrey would be a big sister in June!! Then after the gathering Alex and CC got engaged!! Next year will be hard to top...
