So here is the story behind the gingerbread houses. I called to talk to my sister Jerusha, and my niece Jocslyn want to talk to me. I asked her if she was going to make a gingerbread house. And she told me that she didn’t know. So a few day later I was calling my sister again and my nephew answered her phone. I talked to Kegan for a few minutes and then Jocslyn got on the phone. She asked my in the cutest of voice if “I would make a gingerbread house with her.” I couldn’t say no and let her down.

On Tuesday, I had a meeting in Salt Lake with the Colorado River Salinity Science Team. After that, Theral (who had taken the day off from work) and I meet up with my sister and my mother and father. We saw my Kegan’s kindergarten Christmas Program got some food and then head over to the Foshee house to build some gingerbread houses.

The night before I had bought candy to put on the gingerbread houses. I bought two gingerbread kits because they were marked down and it made it cheaper to build them. On the plus side I didn’t have to make icing which is always a mess.

So Theral and I put them together by melting sugar to have it act as the glue. And then we all got busy decorating them. The best part was Jocslyn tried to eat as much candy as she could. She got out a little cup and kept filling it with different candy and her mouth was always full with candy. It was great. Theral helped Kegan. Theral did point out at the end that Kegan made all the decision as to were the candy should go. I basically did mine and Jocslyn. They both turned out really good. It was a lot of fun to do that with them.

So my sister called my today to tell me that she had gotten my Christmas card which she liked and that the candy keeps disappearing from the gingerbread houses. I never eat the candy off them but apparently Jocslyn and Kegan keep getting snacks from them. I thought that was great. Kids get way wound up at Christmas which is fun to see.

So my new goal from today until Christmas is to get way wound up. Theral might not like it but I’m good for life.
