Gingerbread Village

This afternoon, I met Kathryn and Janette and her husband, Chris, and we took the kids to the Gingerbread Village, a local fundraiser. For $6, you get to make your own gingerbread house and you can also browse several professionally made ones.

Let's just say that most of the decorations ended up being eaten by the kids before they could be put on their houses.

Casey told me several times "Mom, this is one of the best things you've ever done to us!"

Here were some of the neat houses we got to see:

A haunted house


Noah's Ark


A cowboy Christmas


This one took first prize.
Notice the people inside the house.

It was a lot of fun, but making the houses was a little harder than I thought it would be. Lots of icing helped keep things together, though.
