1st Snow and Gingerbread Houses

We had our first real snow storm of the season that rendered enough snow to play in. The girls really wanted to go out and play so we got them all dressed up and Tyler headed outside with them.

They wanted to make a princess castle out of snow but the snow was too dry and would stick. Tyler decided to bury the girls in the snow. They loved it.

Since they couldn't make a princess castle they decided to make a mountain instead.

Emily and Allie had a great time trying to climb and summit their “mountain”.  Maybe they are practicing for Everest?

They enjoyed jumping off the mountain after they reached the top.

Later that night we made gingerbread houses (with graham crackers).

Tyler got all into it. Here he is making his Graham Cracker Estate.

Here is Tyler's mansion all complete. The girls made princess castles (of course) and mine was a ski chalet. I think more candy made it into the tummies of little girls than made it onto the houses.
