Gingerbread House

Should I spend the day making homemade gingerbread using quality ingredients, making my home smell divine and sprinkling in some love along with the cinnamon?  Will my kids appreciate the time, work and mess I create just for them? They are darling and precious after all.  They love me and tell me they miss me after being apart for a mere hour. 

Decisions, decisions........  I am a seasoned mother after all and  love these kids and would do anything for them, the choice is pretty easy.

One Costco Pre-Built Gingerbread Kit coming Up.

The kids loved this project even more than if it were homemade.  Why?  Because I let them do every last thing themselves.  Now if I had made the home with my own two hands, I would have probably not been able to stand their cute little haphazard decorations and just might have had to take over the whole project so it would have been picture perfect......but I am just guessing.

They were so grateful for such a fun, thoughtful mom that as soon as we were finished they went to the hot tub with their dad and let me clean up all by myself.  Like I said.............precious.
