What I did this weekend

Each Christmas season as I walk by the pre-made gingerbread houses, they call out my name and tell me they would be so much easier. But, NOOOOO, I have to satisfy my desire to make a bigger and better gingerbread house each year. So after way too many hours of planning, buying supplies, preparing, baking, assembling (with a near structural collapse due to a faulty icing recipe), decorating, and candy eating, my gingerbread "colonial" house is pictured below. (I was going for a colorful house this year). Elizabeth created her own house as well and Katherine decorated the gingerbread men. We had so much fun!
