Mackenzie woke up early. Of course she did. Why would my daughter who really needs her rest get enough sleep on a busy day? That might decrease my stress some after all. But, she did good despite being tired. Yay Mackenzie!
So, the friends arrived about 9:15 or so. The kids ransacked the house playing for about thirty or forty minutes. I tell you, it is interesting to clean up after having kids play in the playroom that don't live here. My kids go through phases where they play with certain things. And, they tend to have routines with how they play with what they play with. But bring in other kids and everything gets gone through and ends up in strange places. Not complaining! Just find it fascinating at the end.
Back to our Par-tay. I had found a well rated easy Quiche recipe on All Recipes, cut up some fruit, put out some yogurt, and Mama Julie brought some bagles. Whala...we had a yummy brunch. Even the kids ate.
Okay and now, onto the 'reason' for our most wonderful gathering....Our 'Gingerbread Houses.'
I premade the Graham Cracker 'Gingerbread Houses' and had all the candy and frosting in bowls. Some of the houses were structurally challenged, but the point was FUN and FUN Was Had By All!
The girls eating together.
Me waiting for the table to mysteriously start to move apparently on it's own.
Note to self: Need to get the new table out.
Zachy enjoying his food.
Pretty much all gone, so he enjoyed it A LOT!

The Big Kids waiting patiently for the Gingerbread House Making to begin.
And, for some reason, Mackenzie decided to put on a Snow White dress.
Decorating time!
SOOOO Focused! Love it!
And, yes, some candy was consumed in the process.
Meanwhile, back in the playroom....
They were handing things to one another and saying,
'Dank you!'
How cute are they?
And now...
Ta-daaaa!
The Big Kids with their Houses!
They Done Good!
And Had Fun!
And that makes Me veryVeryVERY Happy!
