gingerbread house mania

we had so much fun last weekend making gingerbread houses with our friends J and W!! J is so stinkin' smart, she had a local bakery put the houses together so all we had to do was DECORATE! MO and W had the best time eating their weight in pure sugar - sprees, necco wafers, candy canes... we kept trying to give them cheese and pretzels to counter act a mega sugar high! sweet W is such a joy to be around. you can tell from his adorable face that he's a true angel. he was so sweet to share his toys (and rosary beads) and we loved getting to start this tradition with him!! we can't wait until next year for our, now annual, tradition!!

can you believe all this stuff? i'm telling you, J had everything in the world you could ever want to decorate a gingerbread house! it was great!!
see? she had every color of sprinkles and, seriously, everything you can imagine!
here we are making our masterpieces! so much fun!!here are the "hosts with the mosts"! the master behind the design!the final project - ours is on the left and J/W's is on the right. (MO's is pink and purple, btw!)and here they are from the back. so. cute.cuties on the window sill. now this is talent! he was just balancing on the ledge!!!sweet friend with his nesting santas!

since MO has learned the word "mine" at school (oh, dear!) i was giving her a little lesson in sharing...
