Gingerbread Houses!


We decorated gingerbread houses today! This was Annie's first time participating. Like her sister and brother before her, she spent most of this first time eating, eating, eating, and eating as much candy as she could. There's one shot that proves she stuck at least one piece of candy on her rooftop. Notice, though, that as she is sticking the candy to the roof, her cheeks are certainly stuffed full!


Here's her (Mom's) finished house! She was too busy eating to even put her face in the picture. But her sticky hand made it in!


Here's Will, hard at work:


And the finished project--notice the icicles and the candy cane chimney!



Here's Ellen, ready to get started!


And the finished masterpiece:


Ellen planned out her candy cane heart wreath before we even started. It looks great!

Here's the video documenting the making of the houses:
