Gingerbread Houses




A group of us all took our little ones to create gingerbread houses at the local dairy farm, Moomers. Moomers is known around town for the amazing ice cream...it's almost as good as Graeters ice cream, which was a local college favorite. However, Moomers, unlike Graeters comes with real cows for your viewing pleasure.
Anyhow, when we arrived, we were all set with a blank slate of a gingerbread house. While all the other families let their children have fun and create beautiful works of art, I found my OCD kicking into high gear with our house. As you can see, I created neat little rows for Kailey to place like types of candy. She didn't seem to mind and I actually think she preferred it that way. She was very patient and had a great time. She did sneak a few pieces of candy, but that's what it's all about! The culminating moments were a chance to look at the cows and a big cup of homemade ice cream...just what we all want in December!
