gingerbread house

my mom totally spoiled us and brought lots of fun sweets to decorate a ginger-bread house this year. i actually branched out and made one from scratch. the whole project took a few days, but it was so worth it. i think we have a new tradition now! mom brought so much candy that i had enough left over to make gingerbread guys with 7 of our little local friends after they left!

dad had a lot of advice about how the house should go together

but ultimately, we were the master craftsman (and women)
