Last night we had a great opportunity to see some old friends and to have the 2nd Annual Gingerbread House Party! A couple of years ago we were just a bunch of single people, in the singles ward, hanging out whenever possible. Unfortunately, life has that way of making you grow up and saying goodbye to old friends. In the past 6 months, 2 couples (including us) have gotten married and another one has gotten engaged, not to mention that everyone seems to be moving all over the country. Our wonderful friend, Kristen, hosted the party along with her husband, Matt.
This year we made Gingerbread trees, which were very fun. Alex's and Kristen's turned out great.
Jared's, not so much.
He thought it was a good idea to pour the little candies over the tree instead of placing them on it. Hardly any of them actually stuck, so Jared picked up the ones that didn't roll off the table onto the floor, and threw them at his tree.
You have to give him props for trying though, some people gave up and just played Wii Sports. Guess who that was.
It was a very fun night though and I can't wait to see them next year!
Congratulations to Kari and Dave for getting engaged, for getting all the way through the engagement story, and for being a trooper and staying all night even though Dave was sick.

Fun, fun, fun! I love that you guys made gingerbread Christmas trees...how clever! (Well some of you at least, others played Wii, right?) (;
Yes, it is a bit sad how we grow up and things change, but we can always love our friends, and it is wonderful that you have started that fun tradition at Christmas time with your friends.
