This morning (eh, it's 1:33, so maybe more than just morning) was spent putting 11 gingerbread houses together in anticipation of our class party here at Paige & Graham's house Monday. They are actually gingerbread stables, and the kit came complete with little figurine deer and blue sugar for the pond. I used 3 lbs of royal icing and learned a lot about how to glue the boogers together with increasing success from the start at 9:30 until now. Number eleven looks a lot better than number one, but hopefully when the kids get all the gumdrops and candycanes on them, noone will see a difference. You should see the variety of decoration options they have -- I raided the $1 store for all the sugary delights -- good-n-plenty, dots, candy canes, necco wafers, pretzels, peppermint pillows and more. So I will try to post a picture of their masterpieces with all the adornments Monday.
Al took the kids to the Anadarko children's Christmas party while I knocked out this project. Yeah Dad!

Girl, you are amazing! I can't imagine doing all those! We did ONE last year and I said,..never again. They are not easy and lots of work. Can't wait to see how the kids decorate them though. I'm sure they will have tons of fun.
They look lovely,Steph. what patience! I look forward to more pics after the party (greedy, greedy me)...xx
Wow, those look like so much fun! Have a great party!
Said it before and I'll say it again, don't know how you do it Steph. They look so wonderful, as aunty norma says you have so much patience. XX
Agreed! [don't know how you do it all]
They look great. Kudos to you to invite the whole Tigger class over! Hope it's lots of fun.
