Sycamores build a house!

We did! We built a house! A little one. A sweet and tasty one too! We have now done this for 3 years I think. Our tradition is to make a gingerbread house at the beginning of December, usually to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.

This year in addition to the fun of confectionery building, we also made wassail and Heather made Gingerbread men. Wassail, we discovered, is actually apple cider. Who knew? I always thought it must be this weird old English drink. Here come to find out it's just the same old tasty, sweet, tangy... This is making me kind of thirsty. Well it would be a let down if it wasn't so good.

Gingerbread cookies are pretty tasty too. Funny how kids tend to give those little cookies life. Of course it helps when they just watched the Shrek Holiday Special. Santa as a gingerbread eating monster it an interesting thought. Well we had a great time. Enjoy some photos of us enjoying. Oh, by the way, Heather did NOT make the gingerbread house. It was a kit. She'll feel bad if you think she's that domestic.
