Ginger Bread Houses

When we arrived at the church, we were given 6 pieces of gingerbread (real gingerbread...smelled so good), a bag of icing, and directions. Lilly was not so interested in this part of the building process, but lucky for her I attend NC State known for engineering so our house came together without a hitch.

Meanwhile, MJ was cruising around the fellowship hall with Eenie's help. He successfully said "da-dada-da-dadada" followed by a raspberry! Then later in the afternoon he mustered a "MAMA!" So excited!!

We had our house complete in record time so the candy table was not set up yet. I was put in charge of holding back the monkey's to the candy could be all put out. It was quite a job, but once they could be let loose they calmed back down!

The kids ate too much candy and then needed to run some sugar off. They ended up sitting on the stage giggling about nothing at all!

And here is the master piece....I put the dots of frosting, and Lilly added the candy (well the candy she did not eat). Hope this is just the beginning of the holiday crafts!
