gingerbread houses : two ways

We got to take part in TWO gingerbread house events this month!  First up was Grandma Maggie's gingerbread cabin, led by Heidi. 

Alli provided much-needed auntie assistance.

Mmmmmm...candy

 Henry admires Opal's masterpiece.

TaDa! Here's mine!

 We also got invited to our neighbor's gingerbread event.  They had baked the house pieces using molds that made some super-fancy houses!  Jamie was in charge of building this time.  Of course his house featured a pet dinosaur and a pond.

 

 I don't know what was more fun, the decorating or watching the 7 toddlers run around like crazy.  We're so lucky to have found awesome neighbors yet again!

Merry Christmas all!  We are off to celebrate with the Wiecks+Howell crowd.  Hooray!
