US versus THEM

Nothing screams Christmas more than making gingerbread men with family and friends. Well maybe there are things that do scream it more but for now let's stick with that. So recently Jordan and I hosted our 2nd FHE and this time it was decorating, I am sure you have guessed it by now, yes gingerbread men. Here are some lovely pictures from that evening. On a side note these 28 cookies took me over 3.5 hours to finish them all. I won't bore you with the details my dear family and friends but I am not sure if I will ever make another gingerbread man in my life. LOL...I would venture to say that if something is going to take this long then I'll just make gingerbread houses. (smile)...which Jordan and I plan on doing after finals. I'm super excited to start that tradition!



Picaso would have been proud of us...LOL..here is some of what we did!




so back tracking a bit...we had hosted a Halloween FHE at our new apt. as well back in October sometime. The activity of course was carving pumkins. here are some pictures of the stupendous time we had. I also wanted to mention that Jordan, after everyone left, took ALL THE PUMPKIN SEADS, he didn't leave a single one out, cleaned them, dried them, seasoned them, and baked them...and they turned out to be a huge hit with family, friends, and the people I work with. I was so proud of him. I know that seams silly to you to say "why the heck is she so impressed and proud of him for baking pumkin seads?" well it's for the only fact that I saw him take hours to do this. There were 5 couples who came...making that 5 pumkins. I was so impressed with the hard work and dedication he did. He is going to be such a great dad...we enjoyed pumpkin carving so much that we plan on doing it for Christmas too when we start our own family! LOL. Well time to go. Talk to you all later! I didn't put everyone's individual pumpkin but that one is ours. the front was a skerred tree and the back of the pumpkin we carved that scarey moon lit night scene. (wahahaha)
