Gingerbread Junction

On Sunday, Casey and I went to Gingerbread Junction, a fundraiser for the Assistance League, where you get to make your own gingerbread house. Brett is still a little under the weather, so he stayed home with Dan. We went with Kathryn and Lauryn, who also joined us last year.

This is the second year we've gone and it seemed a little easier to make the houses. This year they had much better "glue."

I love looking at the professional houses people make for charity. It's amazing what some people can do with icing!


I'd call this a gingerbread manor, not a house!



This had an ice theme.



This barn was cute.



When we got there, we ran into Denise and her daughter, Lexie, and her mother-in-law, so we all sat together. It seems like the kids' favorite part was taste-testing all the decorations.



Lauryn loved the icing.

We went today as well and had a blast! Mallory thought it was great fun. We even had the gingerbread professional (an 80 year old retired teacher!) help us with our so we were assured they wouldn't fall apart! To bad we didn't see you there.
