Since we didn’t have a chance to decorate Gingerbread Houses on Christmas Eve this year, we decided it would be the perfect way to spend New Year’s Eve!
Gingerbread Fun on New Year’s Eve!
Snuggles was just as excited as last year, when he saw all the supplies!
It was also the perfect opportunity for Bud to wear his new outfit, specially picked out and purchased as a Christmas gift from his oldest brother!
Rose helped me set everything up, while the older kids attended (and the boys served) an afternoon wedding/Mass in town.
The kids were thrilled that two of their uncles, my youngest two brothers, were able to join us for the evening.
Here are this year’s finished Gingerbread Houses:
The Snowball Factory by Captain
The Cozy Resort by Rascal
At the Church for my First Holy Communion by Twinkle Toes
The Nativity by Chiquita
Little House on the Prairie by Snuggles and Daddy
Rose Cottage by Rose and Momma
Kevin’s House by Uncle Kevin
The Golf Course Clubhouse by Uncle David
Wishing you all a very Happy and Blessed 2012!

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

What a wonderful way to spend New Year's Eve! I love Bud's sweet little outfit! Makes me think of Jan Brett's book 'Gingerbread Baby'. 🙂 The houses all look fabulous.
