Gingerbread

Jennifer was kind enough to invite us to join her, Sydney and Sarah to make gingerbread houses on the 26th.

Sarah's house:



Sydney's creation:


And, since Josh and I had taken a 2-year break from pumpkin carving, it was nice to have an opportunity for a joint craft project. No plastic knives covered in frosting were hurled in the process, so we call it a success. Josh handled structure (note the L-shaped layout) while I took on exterior decoration and was entertained for longer even than Sydney by the project.


As a bonus, we discovered a) that Zach enjoys graham crackers, and b) that raisins that pass through an infant's digestive system emerge very plump - as when cooked into oatmeal.

Some girlfriends and I attempted to have a gingerbread house making night a couple of weeks ago. But, the interlocking gingerbread pieces broke, so we just drank wine all evening. Nice work! You did a better job than I would have.

was that plastic knife covered in frosting a metaphor for a plastic putty knife covered in spackle? lol... :P
