Gingerbread Houses

Today I made a gingerbread house with my two oldest boys. 

I really enjoy how very different all my kids are from each other.  Each boy decorated one side of the house and you can definitely tell whose is whose.  Then when I took the pictures their unique personalities came out again.  They’re such great boys! 

Trey and Adam with Gingerbread House
Who’s the crazy free spirit??

Adam followed the picture on the box as best he could and didn’t dare (or want) to deviate from the plan.  His side is very nice and neat.  I love that Adam likes to do things well and obey the rules.  I hope he’ll continue to grow into a wise young man who is not prone to rebellion.  It will serve him well.

Trey's Gingerbread House
Trey didn’t care that much about the picture on the box and certainly didn’t care what his older brother had to say about how he “should” decorate his side of the house.  I love that Trey is a non-conformist.  I hope that he will grow into a young man that is willing to think outside the box.
