Meet our good friends Troy and Taivna. He is Jamacian and she is Mongolian. This was their first gingerbread house decorating experience and we had a great time Christmas Eve. We used the Scovil Bakery recipe from Nauvoo and it was DELICOUS!
Little did we know that this festive sugar feast would induce labor. Taivna called at 2am Christmas morning needing me to stay at her house with the kids while she rushed to the hospital to deliver Olana.
What and exciting Christmas for everyone.
Edwin made a "Grand Entrance" while I was busy tending kids. So our house is truly a HIS and HERS house.

Edwin and Troy.....OLD ENOUGH.
Gingerbread Boys and Girls
The girls enjoyed candy necklaces, dress-ups and Christmas movies
Chocolate and candies for the Princess Bride.
Anne ate more fruity Twizzlers than we could count. I don't think anyone was able to use/eat the purple or pinks because if Anne wasn't eating them she was hoarding them. (I count 5 in this picture how many do you see?)
The next day, Anne was very quiet and I was able to snap this photo of her under the table with a roof section from our gingerbread house. She was relieved to know she wasn't in trouble because what good is a gingerbread house if you can't gobble it up? Hooray for M&Ms, frosting and gingerbread the kids enjoyed eating. This Day Before Christmas activity is an absolute must for us.
