Winter time fun

So we have been busy the last few days. Geoff has been home, no school for Macie and lots of free time = doing stuff as a family!!! So...here is what we have been up to. First we actually got our first snow of the season. It's not alot, but it was enough to actually go out and play in! Here are some pics of the girls in the sled, decorating the snow with colored water, and throwing snowballs.Macie coloring the snow

Then we got together with some friends to make some gingerbread houses!!! FUN!!! Here are all of the adults making our houses.Geoff's finished house. He decided to go different. After the second story fell apart, he decided to add this chimney instead.My finished house. I learned from this that I am not very creative. It was all I could do to come up with this little house. LAME!!But then I thought that I redeemed myself with this little ice pond and my ice skater. (Geoff made me the ice skater).

While the adults were making houses, Macie was playing with Jack. She came downstairs at when we cleaning up and was sad that she didn't get to make one. So, I told her that we would make her one at home. Here she is making her road. She kept saying that she just wanted to make a princess castle. The whole time we were trying to make her house all she kept saying was "can eat that candy?" I am pretty sure that she ate more than she actually put on the house. :) Here she is with the finished house.
