Gingerbread House

Jenny, Rob, Paul and I went out to their parents house yesterday just to hang for the day.  We had a "comfort food" dinner (meatballs and ravioli), decorated the Christmas tree, watched football, and decorated gingerbread houses!  Jenny and I were the only ones to finish our houses (Paul decorated a roof and then got distracted..).  It actually can become an overwhelming task....you spend so much on one side of the roof that you are exhausted and then you realize that you have the other half of the roof and four walls to go.  So the key is to spread out your decorating!

The candy aisle is your friend when it come to decorating. Make sure to have plenty red and green and get creative with your choices - the most random candies some time make the best decorating pieces!
