Gingerbread houses...

Yesterday we attended our neighbor's Annual Gingerbread House Decorating event. This was our FIRST. What fun! I had the insane idea that Fender and I could go over and tackle this project...I would create a masterpiece and he would play with other kids...well that is sort of what happened if you change "I" to Drew, me, and my sister creating a "times running out, let's hurry up and get-it-doner" while taking turns running after Fen to keep him out of all the neighbors cabinets, out of all the icing and sweets, and out from under all the trampling big kid and adult feet (he was the youngster by a couple of years). Drew had to fix a faulty foundation and stabilize the roof to begin with...well, I did mention it was my FIRST and I have notes now so we should be better prepared next time. :) Still...our house ROCKS! It all came together just fine in the end.

So without further ado, prepare to feast yours eyes on lots of tasty gingerbread homes, only one of which had actual gingerbread as a foundation because she found it at the store. Ah...the master revealed her secret. There were 10 total (9 houses and one spaceship). :) The first two show all the houses, and then I just posted a few close ups so you can see how different they all were.

 
 
 
 

Which one is ours you ask?????? The one with the yummy chocolate covered graham cracker and sour watermelon roof on the cardboard in the first picture. Also picture number three. Note our towering chocolate soldier keeping watch over all the sweets.
