Finally Decorating

We FINALLY were able to decorate the gingerbread houses today. We get out of church at 4:00 and Bubs arrived shortly after. Once we got the frosting ready, we were able to let the kids have at it. They were so excited! Not to mention very patient with us. My dad made delicious french dip sandwiches. My grandma and Sam came over for dinner as well.

Maysen decorated Mike's house for two reasons. 1. We haven't finished putting the roof on hers yet. 2. She was able to practice and decide what she would like for her gigantic house. Mike and I are going to decorate our house together . . . we didn't get around to doing it today. Maysen, Stockton, Jorja, Lincoln and Ella are all donating their houses to the Festival of Trees. I'm pretty excited about that. It's going to be fun to see them there.

And now, pictures of our chaos below. It was organized chaos, and quite fun as well.
