You know my complaint drill by now. The change in the school calendar (smashing finals in the week before Christmas break) robs our family of any time for holiday traditions. I hate it and it stinks.
So you aren't surprised to discover we did not have time to build gingerbread houses before Christmas. No big deal...grrrrrr.
We got to work on houses on New Year's Eve. It was a nice Sunday activity. We used gram crackers this year and instead of the kids going for a traditional house design I help them build, I let them each build and design their own house creations. They were thrilled, I had less work to do, more importantly, we all had a nice time.
After gingerbread houses were done, we toasted to the new year and put the little kids to bed. Happy New Year!
