The kid-decorated gingerbread house. Each kid gets half the house to decorate. There was a mis-understanding this year - each kid thought I was making them their own house! Next year, I'm just going to purchase two kits - it will be much easier for me...
The front:
The "party backyard", complete with pond for the penguin and campfire for the gingerbread men.
We bought gifts for the cats and I could not resist this plaid outfit, even if it was designed for a dog. Louie endured 15 minutes of humiliation while we cooed and declared how cute he looked in it.
See, it even comes with a hood...
The kids stayed up late, trying to guess what was in each package. There were a lot of guesses for "shoes". That's because we used old shoe boxes to house the gifts!
Needless to say, we had a great Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Hehe - too cute outfit!My cat would kill me in my sleep if I ever tried that! :-D
