Gingerbread Houses

The last activity of our holiday season was decorating gingerbread houses.  The kids are old enough now that they don't need much assistance.  Other than helping a couple of them get the icing on their houses and trees, Emily and I were able to just sit back and watch them be creative!

The finished houses!

I just can't say enough how much I love the relationship my kids have with their cousins!  They are such good friends and Christmas (and all other holiday) activities just wouldn't be the same without them!  We are so excited about adding another cousin to this crazy group next year!
