More Great Creations.

Since I didn't get to make "gingerbread" houses with manda, we thought that we would do it tonight. Adam and Cami were over, so they made one too! It was a lot of fun, and we laughed A LOT. I'll explain later. :) So, here are all the pics from our fun night. Jeff and Chelle, we really missed you, and wish you both could've been here!

The Artists.Cami's house. She had to hold the candy canes there forever to get them to stick!
Adams... uh ??? your guess is as good as mine. this is the funny part. It did actually start out as a house... but it kept falling over, so then he tried to put the crackers like cards when you build card houses... but then it evolved into.... dun dun: whatever this is... I kind of like it, except for the weird looking blood splatters :) (just food coloring).
This is manda's house! It turned out really good, considering that she couldn't get it to stand for the longest time. There's a teddy graham making a snow angel on the side, it's cute!
Since I already made a house, i went for a different approach. This is the ice rink + hot chocolate stand. :)
Close up of hot cocoa stand. It was fun to build :)
True to his comment on my last post, dad slept through the entire thing :) lol!
It was a fun night! This is STILL one of my favorite christmas traditions, although next year, mom might have to make the houses before hand... we had definite troubles. :)
On a side note... Cole has started crawling! He is 7 mo. old. It's adorable. :)

Great Job on the creations! I know the ice skaters on your pond don't include me cause they seem to be standing up way too easily :)

Manda-definitely NOT true, I'm not more creative, and that is not what I "meant" to say :) I thought it was great!

Kendall- you did great at standing on the ice the other night! no worries. :)

Amanda- I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into with an invitation like that.... you haven't seen what you'd be working with ;)

Megan- Thanks you are too kind... but you still could have skated circles around me if you'd have wanted to ;)

I think you and Manda both did a great job, I'm impressed. Jeff really liked your ice skating rink and thinks that you should study something artsy because you're so creative!
