Gingerbread houses

This past Sunday, we went to Grandma June's for her annual gingerbread house making party. The four of us, plus Aunt Lindsey were the architects - Grandma June joined in to help Andrew with his tree at the end. She did all the grunt labor ahead of time - collecting the candies for decorating and assembling the houses so they were dry and read to be decorated when we got there.

Baba and Matthew teamed up to make an awesome scene...

 

Here is their final product:

 

...even a little Santa on the other side!

 

Decorating is too much fun - when mom was done with her house, she decorated her kids!

The big gingerbread house was last to be tackled - everyone enjoyed the mini houses this year.

 

Here's Mom's house in the front - and Lindsey's outhouse in the background...

And Mr. Andrew's masterpiece!

An afternoon at Grandma's isn't complete without an afternoon tea (although I'm pretty sure the boys go for the candy that's served with the tea without actually drinking much tea at all!)

 

Thank you, grandma - what a fun afternoon! Can't wait to do it again next year. :)
