So there are many things I never did as a child. I never carved pumpkins, I never believed in Santa Claus & I never decorated gingerbread houses. Luckily, I have 3 sweet little boys that I get to live through vicariously.
Here are the artistic works of:
Combi, Ja-Ja & K.B
Enjoy! I know I did.

We never carved pumpkins when we were young either. We just drew faces on them with Sharpies. Then as a teenager I demanded that we try it. I have only carved them twice with my kids, and now I know why my mom didn't want to attempt it with 5 kids. We never did gingerbread houses either, I think in Jr. High was my first time. But I believed in Santa until about age 10.
I was still questioning the existence of Santa until I was like 11. I don't think I did gingerbread houses either, but then again in my parent's defense, I don't think they sold these easy put-together kits like they do now. My mother-in-law even up until a couple of years ago baked her own gingerbread. Now that's impressive. Tell your crazy three that I think they'd win a wilton pre-made gingerbread house competition.
excellent work! grace's bday is this week and she wants to decorate houses for it. i always wanted to as a kid and never did (although we did carve pumpkins). why didn't you believe in santa claus? don't hondurans believe in santa? i think this merits a blog post about your christmases as a child. i'll be looking forward to it.
looks like fun ... we never did gingerbread houses either as a kid ... maybe that's why i want to do them with my boys! :) fun stuff!
ps-i'm like shannon--i want more christmas details from your youth
Oh, that makes me sad you never did those things! I'm glad you are doing them with the kiddos, and they will do them with theirs, etc., etc. Good for you.
I believed in Santa until I found my Santa gifts in my mom's closet in 5th grade. I'm pretty gullible. I'm glad you get to do all those fun things with your boys. Those are some nice gingerbread houses. We made ours with graham crackers.
