Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Breaking the house.

We have a sort of odd tradition around Christmas time. On Christmas Eve we make a Gingerbread house together. Normally from a kit. This year we had a house and a tree. Then on New Years Eve we SMASH the house!! It's tons of fun and whatever is left over goes in a bowl and stays out for a week then gets thrown away. I'm sorry the pictures are late and backwards!! If you want to see them in order start at the bottom. Papa, J, L, E and Brianna (in the bright pink) admiring their smashing success!

E taking a whack at it.


L smashing it with his fist!

J trying to imitate Papa last year and smash it with one blow of his open hand.. didn't work. That icing is serious glue!!
