Simmon's House (Ginderbread)

This year we thought we would be cool parents and finally buy our kids a gingerbread house. We bought it on a Tuesday but were saving it for Family Night. It almost killed Landon. He asked every day if it was Monday so he could do the "Simmon's house"

Finally it was Monday. We were all just a tiny bit excited.

Sorry, I had to include both of these because Cooper's not looking in one and Kami looks questionable in the other.

See how excited Landon was?

The frosting was ridiculously difficult to pipe.

Cooper was really cute, he kept looking at the box to make sure and put things exactly where they did. It wasn't until I told him he could put it wherever he wanted that his real creative juices started flowing.

I know this is blurry but I couldn't get over how ridiculously adorable my little boys' smiles were.

Here is the rest of our family. He was the man behind the camera. Isn't he the greatest?!

I love this picture.


That double chin just kills me.



And of course you are all wondering how long the candy actually lasted on the gingerbread house, I mean we are the Bowens afterall.
Let's just say the very next morning Brandon made a bargain with the kids; a piece of candy from the gingerbread house for a hug and a kiss. When I walked into the kitchen a minute later Landon proudly stated "I eaten aw da can-ee off da Simmon's house" "Uh-oh" I said "Are you going to get in trouble?" "No! My gib da-ee a ug an a kiss. An I gonna eat da can-ee aw gone." And then he quite literally did.

A lesson in obedience: My mom just left me a comment saying I should update my blog. Well, seeing that she checks my blog once a month that seems like a fairly large threat. Just so you know, I've always been the most obedient one in the family.
