Gingerbread House

Last year, we started a tradition of making a gingerbread house at Christmas.  Ben was in town when we did it last year, and they both were old enough to really enjoy it.  This year, LL did it by herself because Ben wasn't here and Cooper for sure isn't old enough to help out.  He would have just been shoving it in.  ;)  Since we knew it was just going to be LL, we got her a Hello Kitty themed house.  She loved it!

While she napped, Matt put the house together.  When we got her all set up, we just let her go for it.  We let her do it 100% on her own and she had a blast.  I was impressed with her attention to detail and how she was alternating colors all on her own. 

Just getting started.

The finished product.

I'm glad she enjoyed it so much - especially since it's Hello Kitty.  Since Cooper will be old enough to participate next year, it'll probably be a neutral one.
