Can you guess what we did today?

Gingerbread House, originally uploaded by elizabethwickland.

I guess one of the best ways to kick off the holiday season is to put up your Christmas decorations, and then make a gingerbread house!

Our house isn't anything fancy, it's just a $10 kit from Costco. But it came complete with the gingerbread, icing, candy, and piping tip and bag... and loads of fun! Ellie had a GREAT time decorating this year and did all that you can see on the house by herself! (I did the other side.) I put the frosting on, Ellie added whatever candy she wanted, and Leif took pictures. It was a very fun family activity to kick off the holidays!
