A Family Affair

Saturday we had a birthday party for my mom. We combined the party with our tradition of decorating gingerbread houses with the kids. Everyone had a blast. These pictures aren't the greatest in terms of lighting and focus, but they sure show what a great time everyone had. It was a wonderfully crowded, noisy and joyous affair! There's a ton of pictures...don't say I didn't warn ya!

The Parmleys. We were a lot happier than we look, I promise!

Look, Mom in the mirror!

The baby was crying and guess who came to the rescue (makes me swoon):

Everyone just hanging out:

Mom and Dad:

The kids working on their houses:

Baby Lucas:

It was Matt's birthday, too. Ain't he handsome?

Here are pictures of the kids with their finished gingerbread houses:
