"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Gingerbread Houses

This year Grandma sent us the best Gingerbread House kit.  It had a little house for everyone to make - perfect size - and it had frosting that actually stuck the things together!  The older kids had a great time decorating their Gingerbread houses, and Spencer enjoyed eating his candy.  I tried to stick it on as quickly as possible so he couldn't shove it all in his mouth, but he didn't care about that.  He just pulled it off, took a bite, and then put it back in the frosting again.  Later in the month, while I was in the shower, he climbed up to where we kept the houses and attacked Meg's.  She was a good sport about it all.
