Yesterday the kids had some of their school friends over to make gingerbread houses....sadly because of the weather, several of their friends couldn't make it, but we still had a LOT of fun!!!! :) Firstly the kids played some board games in front of the fire...then we had lunch...then we decorated the houses. Then the kids went outside and went sledding and played in the snow. Then they came inside for hot chocolate....then more game playing until it was time to go home.
My neighbour/ friend came and joined us with her Son too. She brought the most AMAZING cream puffs that she had made....Mmmmmmm soooo yummy!!!
Chris filmed the making of is gingerbread house - I will try and get the link when he adds it to youtube ;) It will probably be one of those movies where he speeds the whole thing up ;) He and Max took almost 3 hours to do their house but it WAS very well done :)
In the end it worked out well that Laurences friends couldn't make it - as he got a phone call from another neighbour at lunchtime asking if he could babysit straight away for a few hours, so he earned some money!! Then he got another call and was asked to join some friends at the movies for the evening, so he ended up having a fun day anyway!
