Today was the kid's school winter party. My fellow class mom and I had been planning it for the past few weeks. It was wonderful. We did a small craft project together, then made gingerbread houses, and then had cupcakes & Capri Sun. To some, it may not sound like a "party", but for me, it was one of the best parties I'd ever been to.
Today, my son and I made a gingerbread house together. It wasn't perfectly aligned. Some of the crackers were broken off. We didn't even cover all of the milk carton we used as a structure. But it's the most awesome gingerbread house I've ever seen.
I realized that I've never made a gingerbread house, not even as a kid. So today, my son and I both built our first gingerbread house...together. It may take years for him to share my sentiment, who knows. But it was a very special moment for me.
