Preschool Gingerbread House Making Event

Colton's class had a special party for the parents and kids right before Christmas break. They started the party off with a few songs for us when we walked in. As soon as I walked into the room Colton stood up and started to yell and wave "Hey Mom...hey everyone that's my mom....I love you mommy"...yeah it was cute. Then every kids wanted to say "Oh yeah well that's my mom...hi mom" and you get the scene...it was almost chaotic but the teachers got them all back in the circle for their Christmas sing along which we/they had been practicing for weeks. We then had to build gingerbread houses with endless amounts of candy and frosting. Colton ate most of the candy at our table but I couldn't blame him...what 4 year old could really resist that temptation (um what 34 year old could resist a few bites of Reece pieces either?!?!). Colton has a real creative spark when it comes to craft time, it was his idea to build a hot tub out of marshmallows and graham crackers and to have a licorice skating rink with a skier on it. A few of the parents at our table said they wanted to come to our house after the hot tub addition...lol. It was a super fun afternoon and I think our gingerbread house came out pretty good, even with a few missing gumdrops. :-)
