There are many perks to being married to a hunky school teacher.
During the holidays my favorite benefits of this occupation include :
1. Jor's 2 FULL weeks off of work. (That is a little disgusting when you think about it. and it's PAID. But i'm happy for him- and I have a clean garage as of this moment because of it.)
2. Generous student's parents who donate gingerbread making supplies for the last day of school before the Christmas break, and all of the leftovers of candy and other wonderful things- because of these parents- that we so gratefully get to use for our GINGERBREAD HOUSES!
Donations to the cause.
Jay's house. Honestly, this was a miracle and we are still in shock he made such a good house. He's never been able to handle the pressure me and Jor bring. (jk, but really..)
My favorite are the little gingerbread man stacked on each other putting the lights on. Oh, and the farm animals on the left side of the roof.
Claire wins the award for best gluing skills. And icicle skills. And best hair skills.
My house. The snowman was my favorite part!
Jor decided to make a replica of our house.
Jor's one of those people who just happens to be incredible at whatever he does. Not just sports, and school, but crafty things. What? Yes, crafty things. That's what the wifey is supposed to be good at. But, I've come to terms, and I'm okay with it.
What do you think? Close to looking like the Schmidtty home?

You guys totally rock the gingerbread houses. And put our little ones to shame. If we ever come out there for Christmas, we are so coming over to learn the art from the masters.
