gingerbread house


the bonfire in the backyard

gingerbread man sledding later he was given a buddy to ride with... such an imagination!

this was cute the gingerbread man is decorating his tree... zach glued a red m&m to his hand




this was too cute... zach put a gingerbread man walking toward the door so from
the front you see his back !(behind the snowman)




snowman the arms and face were zach's idea



the masterpiece








our fun morning together! this was so much fun i guess this is a 20 year tradition that the first graders do... zach's teacher is so fabulous she fought to keep this tradition when questioned whether or not it was 'necessary'... we had a blast about 10 parents showed up and i think we had more fun than the kids constructing these things in the conference room from scratch for the kids to decorate... thank goodness our frosting was the perfect consistency! zach loved this and thanks to jess i had my new pocket cannon in my purse so it was ok that i left "my camera" at home! great day great memories...
