2021 Christmas and year-end-wrap up!

 2021 Christmas and year end wrap up!


Gingerbread House Decorating

We've had a long-standing tradition of decorating gingerbread houses at Christmas time with the extended Stout family.  After two years of pandemic and realizing that we've simply grown too big, we decided to narrow it down to our own children and grand children.  This year too, since we were in charge of the Ward Christmas party, it was a good time to scale down the gingerbread house decorating party.  We had Eric's 5 kids and our 4 grandkids and it was fun to get to spend time together doing something creative.

Chloe's masterpiece!

Each one is so unique


The kids enjoyed chatting away while listening to Christmas music

They all did a great job!

The kids love it
