All of my brothers and sisters and their spouses and kids were in Portland for Christmas this year. That is five brothers, four sisters, 5 in-laws, 1 sister's boyfried, and thirteen neices and nephews. Instead of a huge gift exchange, we decided to pack the week with fun activities. One day we built gingerbread "houses". Each family built their own structure. It was fun to see what everyone came up with. The funny thing was that the kids tired out and were done before some of the adults. Gavin, Chloe, Randy and I made a rocket ship. Paul and Camille's family made a chalet complete with a rock chimney. By the time we were all done we had a large table full of gingerbread villages. The kids had fun eating the candy off the houses the rest of the week.
