We make gingerbread houses.

What says Christmas more than making gingerbread houses with family and friends? On Friday night we had the Rileys over for some gingerbread-making festivities to really get into the Christmas season. I made the gingerbread and frosting while the Rileys used their dining plus to provide the candy for decorating.

One of the funniest things of the evening: Chad pulling out his ruler with calculator included to ensure that all of the gingerbread's proportions were correct. He's such a cute nerd.

Girl Riley helped with the frosting.

... and boy Riley brought dinner.

Then it was time for the construction to begin.

Once it was completed, we took a ton of pictures. We were so proud.

Precious.

We love having the Rileys around. They are a kick in the pants.

Its been so much fun to have Riley around. I love the Christmas season.
