Gingerbread Houses

It has been very rainy here lately...and more rain expected for the next 6 days! So in an effort to entertain the babies indoors this week my sister and I decided it was time for a gingerbread house decorating party. We invited some friends and their babies (and some that didn't have babies because really it was all about us decorating and getting a sugar high anyways) and got some kits and extra candy and went to town!

Mixing the icing (or Puder Zucker - powdered sugar in german? funny if you were there!)
Zoey says "let me at the candy mom!"
Hilary and I lucked out because BOTH of our boys napped for the first half of the decorating process...allowing ample time to focus on the decorations and let our creative juices flow!

Zoey + Hershey's = happiness (no she didn't actually eat any, her mom said "if you can get it open yourself you can have some!")
Please note the snowflake candies on the roof...Andy found these...GENIUS....they totally made our houses!
Chinese Handcuffs (you had to be there!)
Hilary & Parker J.'s masterpiece

Andy & Zoey's masterpiece
TA-DA!

A baby Jesus snowman peep for Uncle Matt (this is what happens when I have had too much sugar!)

Mommy & Scotty P's masterpiece

Pretty sure he just wanted to pick off pieces to eat!

HAHA love how Scott is looking at the house
The Blacks came to decorate their house after work...true test of a marriage: can you decorate a gingerbread house together incorporating BOTH of your ideas...they did great!!!

Scotty P loves his Uncle Adam

And his Auntie Crystal!
