Gingerbread House Decorating Party 2009




We had our annual FCC Gingerbread House Decorating Party this week at a very brave mother's home. There were about 20 kids (mostly girls), sitting at tables diligently squirting out icing and sticking on tons of candy. There's lots of laughing and talking, and the occasional eating of a stray piece of candy. That was what was going on at Laney's table, at least. Kiah, on the other hand, was perfectly content to sit at a table with a bowl of candy (yes, that I gave him), and watch everybody else hard at work. He had fun though, and afterwards the girls were running from him and saying, "the baby's coming!!!!", while they screamed and laughed. He loved chasing them almost as much as they loved being chased. This party was the last Christmas event that Laney got to go to last year because we left for Vietnam 3 days later. It is so hard to believe that Kiah hasn't been with us forever, and this time of year has been made even more special with all the memories that keep flooding back. How grateful we are to be home this year, and to be making Christmas memories with Kiah now as well.
