Gingerbread House

We as a family try to make December a month full of traditions. One of the first things that we do is decorate a gingerbread house. I think we got this from Les's family because I don't remember ever making one in my family.

We make our gingerbread house a couple weeks before Christmas and the kids pilfer the candy until it looks to sad to stay on the counter. This year we made it a FHE and talked about different prophets who prophesied of Christs birth both in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. We had a great time and pretty good discussion.

We all had the flu besides me during the past week. Thankfully it was the short one and not the long one. I hope to avoid that one. I was super stressed I was going to get it and be in the hospital getting fluids, but so far so good. It is some kind of miracle. Although my doctor did say it might put me into labor, but alas, I am not that lucky. Although I don't think it would be too much fun to have the flu and be in labor.
