Gingerbread houses

Saturday, after hockey and Hunter's friends birthday party but before the blizzard hit us we went to Moomers courtesy of Grandma Lori to make good ole' fashioned ginger bread houses.  O' boy what fun we had.  Hunter's gingerbread house turned out fabulous, complete with windows a front door and a nose (that's what it looks like to us) side windows, and a back door exit and lets not forget the snowman who turned out looking more like a chinese snowman than anything else and the roof made up of a hodge podge of candies and chocolate and gum drops and icing, oh my mouth is watering just thinking of it!  The hardest part of making gingerbread houses........not eating all the delicious and fun candy that you use to decorate your house and keeping Zander's little fingers away from the goodies too.

Look at all those candies...which do I choose for the roof?

Giving Zander mini marshmellows makes him happy enough to not mess with the house

We need a real roofer...anyone....roofer???

Trying to pose with Zander for a picture, more like strangling Zander to make him stand still

The builder and his creation

What a quaint and yummy looking home, except the snowman kind of freaks me out!!!


and this is what Hunter is most proud of.....a backdoor!!!  Hahahaha

Hunter's cow picture he drew back in the summer is still up!

Posing with his art!
