Fun with friends

The boys decorated gingerbread houses with our local home school group.  It was a fun group activity, since everyone brought different kinds of candy to decorate with.  Kyle and Luke easily constructed and decorated theirs with the other boys.

I was helping Max, while holding Nathan with the other arm, so his didn't quite turn out as designed.  But Max still liked it, and he ate a ton of candy.  

My friend Veronica and her daughter Antha came to visit family in Houston, and managed to squeeze in a quick visit with me, Cindy, and all the children.  They all ran around on the playground and had fun while the adults got to catch up.  We tried to get a group picture of the kids, but it didn't really work out.  This is what I got, right before we discovered an ant bed right under the sign.  Oops.  Poor Evelyn.
