gingerbread house and family movies

We have had a really lovely family day today.

This morning we had lots of fun building a gingerbread house. Mummy had made the pieces last night using the recipe and templates she found here and stuck them together using an egg free royal icing recipe she found here.

Photobucket

When the icing was nice and hard we set to work decorating it all. Mummy put white chocolate buttons on the roof to make tiles and I helped a bit too.

I decorated the front of the house and made windows and a door

Photobucket

Photobucket

Daddy helped me to put some sweeties on the front of the roof and then I helped by eating some of the sweets - yum!

Photobucket

Mummy made a snowman and a Christmas tree which I also decorated with sweets

Photobucket

Here's the finished house which now sits next to our nativity in the living room!

Photobucket

Photobucket

I really really enjoyed this activity!

Afterwards we made some popcorn (I loved watching it all popping in the pan and kept saying 'wow!!') and then snuggled on the sofa to watch a nice family film (heffalump movie) together

It was a really lovely day!

some recent drawings

I have recently started giving all my little people really lovely smiley faces and rosey cheeks too. Here's a few of my latest people drawings

This one has hairy arms (I sat in bed yesterday pointingg out the hairs on mine, Mummys and Daddys arms)

And my book advent (The christmas faries are bringing me a seasonal book to read each day). NB: mummy says most of the books are from last years seasonal table/christmas gifts or were bought from carboots for around 10p each and the plan is for these same books to come out each year until I outgrow them! My favourite book so far is 'snow'
