On Monday we had our annual gingerbread house family home evening (and I felt very proud of myself for pulling it together the day after our big Salt Lake trip). We decorated graham cracker gingerbread houses and then doorbell ditch them to people we know. I have fond memories of doing this every year when I was growing up (although we always did it with the same two families). We make a point to invite someone different every year. We have kept the tradition going now for many years, and I love it every time.
This year we had the Trythall, Camp, and Ricks families over. It is always fun to see how each year’s group blends and what comes out of the evening. We had a great time decorating the houses, and with an unusually large number of very young children, it was pretty chaotic! We doorbell ditched 4 houses with only one dropped house, which I consider to be a great success!
We’re lucky to be surrounded by great people. Another fun Christmas experience!
