Gingerbread

Averie's kindergarten teacher is a brave lady...

Every year she has a day where the kids each get to make their own mini gingerbread house to take home. Everybody brings a sandwich bag of candy to share & she provides everything else.

(including stopping by a local bakery for 22lbs of pre-made royal icing!!)

I have never seen so much candy crammed into every cranny of 6 graham crackers cemented together! Even the whole INSIDE of the house was full of candy!! Too funny!

Of course, she doesn't let them EAT the candy... until they get home! LOL

****************************************************
Our family's gingerbread adventure this year was a Sleigh with reindeer. Not nearly as complicated as a house & the kids thought it was super fun!


we start by each decorating our own reindeer...


Daddy doing what Daddies do best... getting them high on sugar AND teaching bad manners - at the same time!! :)

Graham doing the "assembly"...

Yes, Brynlea & I ARE there! :)

The finished product!!
