Gingerbread House Buliding Family Fun

Today was the second annual Gingerbread House Building morning. We had well over 80 people to attend and it was a wonderful morning. Everything went very smoothly, and Karine planned everything exceptionally well. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped to make this a wonderful time for families. There were several requests from people from the community asking, “Are you guys doing this next year?” We had several families that even returned from last year.

Our goal was simply to give families in the community and in our church an opportunity to have fun with their family. So everyone went home with their very own Gingerbread House, smiles on their faces, and a little gift from us. I wanted to give people another entrance to our church other than a Sunday morning worship service.

I also didn’t want to hog all the fun, so Craig G. got to wear the Gingerbread Man outfit. He looks pretty snappy in a giant green bow tie. Our volunteers were outfitted in brown felt aprons, complete with red buttons – very festive. All of my children had a sugar rush at some time during the two hours, and they all crashed in the car on the way home.
