It has become an annual festivity - making gingerbread houses with Jeff, Sharon, Jonathan, and Elizabeth. But this year was a little different than in the past.
Usually we meet together sometime during the week following Christmas. I know what you're thinking, "Don't most normal people decorate gingerbread houses before Christmas?" Well, there are several reasons for waiting until after Christmas...
#1-we are all too busy before Christmas
#2-The Gingerbread House Kit is a great Christmas present(thank you to Jeff, Sharon, Jonathan, and Elizabeth for picking out a great kit!)
#3-The kits go on markdown after December 25th if you need to purchase one
and most importantly #4-Who said any of us are "normal" :-)
Now that Mom and Dad live in Atlanta we spend the days following Christmas at their house. This meant that our after Christmas festivities would have to be postponed until January. However, January was jam-packed as was February so we had to hold off until March. So tonight was the night. As we listened to Christmas carols (Jeff insisted) we enjoyed laughing together as our family made a ST. PATRICK'S GINGERBREAD HOUSE. Here are a few pictures from tonight.

One thing we did discover about making Gingerbread Houses in March is that the frosting and candy are not as "fresh" as in December.
