Gingerbread Mania








Tis the season...to make gingerbread houses! Dave and I in general got a jump on the Christmas season this year which means we got our tree the first of Dec, the decorating is done, and we even have some presents under said tree. (Of course our "holiday" newsletter still will not make it out in time for Christmas. Pick your battles I say.)
Last night I had the annual Dibble gingerbread extravaganza with a few friends from the neighborhood. There was some latent gingerbread decorating talent hidden amongst the crowd that finally found an outlet for expression. There was only one candy casualty. Kristin's house went down San Francisco earthquake style. We learned that too much candy on your house really can be a bad thing. Who knew?
Here are some pictures of the works in progress. There is nothing more magical than building an edible house except, well, maybe eating an edible house. That is pretty great too.
