Gingerbread Houses and More Birthdays

For a fun Christmasy activity in December the kids made and decorated graham cracker gingerbread  houses.  I got the kids each a gummy Christmas tree.  Quinn's tree didn't ever make it to his house. :)



Parker ended up a little stressed out because his house kept falling apart when he put his candy on, but we finally got it to stay together.

Bryce with his:

As you can see, there wasn't much candy left on Quinn's by the time we got a picture. :)

Poor Parker finally got his house to stay together.  At least long enough to get a picture.


Josh's nephew and niece had their 18th and 16th birthdays in December, so their mom (J's sister) threw them a big surprise party.  She is friends with the owner/founder of the Waffle Love Truck, so she hired them to come to the party and everyone got waffles! So yummy! It was a fun party and Kekoa and Ivey had a fun surprise and fun night with their family and friends. :)



This year on the 22nd, Isaac turned 10 years old!  That means I've been a mom for a whole DECADE now! Wow!  As usual, he opened his presents in the morning.



He got a new lego set, Avengers the movie, the video game Minecraft, a nerf blow gun and a snow brick mold.

He got his Lego set put together really fast!


This year Isaac got to have a birthday party with his friends.  He decided he wanted to have his party at Nickel Mania.  I hadn't ever had a party at that sort of place, but it ended up working out well and everyone had lots of fun.

They supposedly have Utah's largest collection of pinball machines.  Josh had fun with those!









After everyone played for awhile, they had cupcakes.  I made Captain America cupcakes.

Then Isaac opened his presents from his friends.  He got some really neat gifts.


After we got home from Isaac's party, I made his birthday dinner.  He had been dying to have some coconut shrimp (one of his favorite foods), so that's what he got for his birthday!

Isaac's cake this year was also a Captain America shield.  You can tell what he's into lately! :)
