The boys and cousins got quite silly while building gingerbread houses. They were also very creative. There was some serious concentration and creativity going on during construction:
They were serious until it was time to take pictures of the completed house:
McKay trying to show off his house but yet not giving me a normal smile without much prodding and many threats. His house was very detailed down to the murder scene outside the front door. One gingerbread man is dead and the other is holding the murder weapon. Nice and full of Christmas cheer.
Jaxon was no better than McKay. I couldn't get him to cooperate for a picture for anything. I finally threatened him that he would be put on the naughty list.
The rest of the photo shoot went something like this:
Good picture, except McKay can you move your head so the light won't block it?
Yeah, that's much better. Not. Let's try putting your faces by your gingerbread houses.
Okay, not what I had in mind. Really, McKay?
Can ya'll look at the camera?
Maybe from this angle? Nope.
Come on! One more time?
I give up. You're all excused.
So I got shots of the finished products without the kids.
Starting at the top left: McKay's, Jaxon's (he was obviously in a cheery mood). Bottom left to right: Josh's and Kayden's. Gingerbread houses without their creators are much more cooperative. It's all about the memories, right?
