Our kids grandmother came over and spent the entire evening building a gingerbread house with them. It was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast. The next morning we woke up to find that our dog had jumped up on the table and eaten the gingerbread house!

This was a bad moment for everybody. The kids, the dog, my wife. Needless to say I spent almost an hour in traffic and in checkout lines at Target to get a replacement gingerbread house. When I got home with it, the kid said “No thanks. We’ve already made one of those before.”
