This is the gingerbread house we made for Christmas.My contribution to orderliness was putting the carcass of this once beautiful confection into the trash. It made me feel good. It also made me think of the topic of 'getting our houses into order.' It's a New Year's thought. I found a great talk by Russell M. Nelson. Just click on the following link to read it.

Love it! Thank you. We too made the traditional gingerbread house. It was fun, but I think I always have more fun throughing it in the garbage January 1!!!
Thanks for the Sunday thoughts. I really enjoy them.
I'm working on it! I decided to file (at least) 10 things a day until the stack is gone. Baby steps...
ALWAYS a work in progress over here. This year I'll really be focusing on our food storage and prepardeness. I'm totally pumped! :) Big plans and lots of motivation.
i feel SO much better when there is order....
at the moment, I'm feeling really good about things! One day at a time :)
I guess the key thing for me is to do it His way. But I do know how to throw out a gingerbread house when the dry frosting starts dropping all over my counter.
I almost didn't get a picture of our house. The children didn't even let the frosting dry before they devoured the house, gingerbread and all.
My 4 yr old has asked 50 questions this season about.."what if we could eat our house, what if our roof was chocolate?" ....side effects of gingerbread house making!
I made new years goals with the family, and Jared laughed at most of them, "those aren't goals..those are house projects!"
Elder Nelson's ideas are much better.
