The finished product. I think our elf on the shelf, Jingles, really liked it because the next day, he was right next to it! When the kids get a little older, I think we may each make our own house:)
____________________________________________________________This morning while Caroline and RoyBoy were eating their breakfast, I sat down with them with my cup of coffee. I have all the Christmas cards we've received so far hanging around our back door. Roy's grandfather's sweet card arrived yesterday and this is the conversation we had:
Me: Look at Daddy Bill. Isn't he precious?
Roy Austin: Is Daddy Bill a baby? (because I used the word "precious").
Caroline: How old is Daddy Bill?
Me: He's 93 (followed by a gasp from Caroline). He has a friend who is 103! (followed by another big gasp and huge eyes and a huge opened mouth). They must have been really obedient to their parents when they were growing up because the Bible says that when you honor your parents, your days will be long on the earth.
Caroline: Mommy, you must have been really obedient to Grammy and Grandaddy when you were little.
I love those two:)

That's so sweet.....it's amazing what goes on in the minds of children. You just never know their take on things.
That sure is a beautiful little house. You all did a great job!! Is it all dry yet?
Sweet sweet! First of all,I love the idea of making your own Ginger Bread house. We will be copycating that idea!
Second--PRECIOUS conversation about Diddy B. :) Wow, 93 and 103!!!!
Well next year I think I want to be there when you make the ginger bread house and I want one too!!! So cute! Well if I remember correctly Caroline drew a picture of Grumps and Nana and I hardly had any hair while Franklin had a headfull! Funny how they see and hear things!
I love your Gingerbread House idea! I'll be using that idea with my boys.
