Gingerbread House


An invitation to Grammy Colleen's home for the annual gingerbread house making is gold. Grammy coaches soccer and her kind, happy, and funny demeanor is infectious. Everyone loves Grammy! The festivities began with a sleepover of 20 girls, too excited to go to bed as parents dropped off candies, pretzels, crackers, and snacks for the building project. We plan to take her creation to Baba's house to share on Christmas day.
Anna may not always be excited to bake with me nor prefer homemade baked goods to store bought but I'm glad that she has an imagination. I encourage her to be creative and and to take pride in her work. I also hope that she learns that Christmas is not just about receiving gifts but being with family and friends and remembering Jesus.
