Gingerbread!

A friend of ours gave us a Gingerbread House Kit yesterday, and the kids have been so excited to make it. So, we decided to do it tonight for Family Home Evening. They had a blast putting all the candies on. Brooklyn got really excited about making patterns and just making it cute. Riley had fun putting the candies on too, but I had to tell her about ten times to not eat the icing. Every time I turned around she tried to sneak a spoonful. She thought she was pretty funny. Miles had a hard time getting the candies to stick, so he just decided to eat them instead. It was just really fun and it turned out cuter than I thought it would. My children are artists and designers in the making! :)

Brooklyn's Birthday

Brooklyn had her 6th Birthday on Sunday, Nov. 8th. I can't believe she's 6 already! She was celebrating all weekend! A few friends came over on Saturday, and then we had a little Family party on Sunday, and then she took cupcakes in to school on Monday to share with her class. She feels very grown-up now.
Brooklyn got lots of art supplies for her birthday, which is perfect because that's what she wants to do all day, everyday... arts and crafts! She loves to color, draw, paint, cut and paste... all of it! She also got clothes, which she loves. She wants to be very fashionable. And books! Well, now that she's learning how to read, she likes books even more. She feels very grown-up since she can read many of the words. :)
All of us had fun celebrating. Brooklyn makes everything so much fun!

I only managed to get the end of the song, and Miles is blocking most of the view, but you get the idea.
