Gingerbread houses and cousins

Decorating gingerbread houses is so much fun, for me and for the boys! Jackson really gets into the decorating and loves making designs with the candies! This afternoon, Jackson, Joshua and Mama went downstairs to work on our house and left Daddy and Jonathan upstairs to watch some football! Joshua didn't last long, but Jackson and Mom had a great time! The pictures are fun--oh, and the roof fell off at the end, but no worries, Daddy used his skills and put the house back together! Then Auntie Krista came over with the cousins to meet Baby Jonathan and to drop off dinner for us, which is just wonderful! We managed to get all seven cousins on the couch for a group picture! Super cute!

The sides are up and we're getting ready to start decorating our gingerbread house!Jackson and Joshua hard at work!
Jackson said the gumdrops he was using were "stoplights."
Sprinkling on white sugar sprinkles to make snow on the roof-top! Fun!!
OOPS! The roof collapsed, but it is still a great house! Good work, boys! Thanks, Daddy, for fixing the roof!
All seven cousins looking super cute! That's seven cousins, ages seven and younger! Jackson and Jonathan! Can you feel the love between these two? It's wonderful!
Joshua's turn to hold Jonathan! Both boys have really enjoyed holding their baby brother!
