Thanksgiving Weekend and Gingerbread Houses

We had a lovely Thanksgiving.  We spent it up at Mike's parents house.  It was so much fun.  We had a yummy dinner.  The next day was the traditional decorating of gingerbread houses.  One of my favorite things to do each year!  Here are some fun pictures!

Juliet's favorite spot...the candy table!!!  




After we were done decorating gingerbread houses.  Everyone bundled up and went Christmas caroling around the neighborhood.  They had so much fun!




After caroling we headed up to Grandma's grave to put some Christmas things up and give Grandma her special gingerbread house everyone helped decorate.  



Everyone that was there.


Juliet's Gingerbread house!  She helped lots and did a great job!

Katelyn got to decorate 2 and this one was the second one she decorated.
