More Christmas Fun

When we used to live in the same town as Andy's parents, we had an older couple that lived across the street from us. They are still in the same ward as Andy's parents and so we saw them today. It has become a bit of a Christmas tradition while we are here to go and see the Christmas village they put together. He has been collecting pieces for at least 50 years. His village takes up his entire garage and their cars are parked in the driveway during the month of December! It is so detailed and realistic. (The little guy next to Cameron is his cousin). The boys really enjoyed the village, the realistic cars and the little trains that chug along the tracks.



Another tradition at Grandmere and Papa's house is gingerbread houses. Grandmere is smart and buys a kit that comes with everything needed to put the houses together. We also decided this year that the kids needed a little help and so I frosted the houses. We then turned them loose with the candy. They had so much fun and there was no added stress that the frosting was not cooperating for them! Here are the boys:
