Ginger Bread Men

Every Sunday our family goes over to my Aunt & Uncle's house for some fun family time (we call it FHE-Family Home Evening). We have dinner, do a little lesson for the kids, and have a fun activity. Last night Parker & I went over (Maddie has had the flu so Ben stayed home with her), and after dinner we all decorated ginger bread men. Parker, cousin Kenya, and cousin Sam had fun decorating little ginger bread bells while us adults made ginger bread people of our families. They turned out pretty cute, and the kids had a good time.

Okay...those turned out TOO cute!! And two new ones on the way?!? How cool is that? I miss hanging out with MamaJo! (Am jealous.) However, *I* got to hang out with YOUR mama yesterday. She looks great and is so happy to spend time with Jenny, Baby Esther and the rest of the family.

Okay, those gingerbread people are ADORABLE! All of you did great jobs of recreating yourselves out of food. Who did grandpa though, and why does he look so mad? That made us laugh. Looks like you all had a lot of fun!
