Gingerbread Houses...Homemade

My sister Heather came into town from Boulder the other day and everytime she comes home she puts her talent to work for us. For those who dont know she is a professinal chef, she even trained in pastries in France. She made homemade gingerbread houses with the kids yesterday. She makes the gingerbread dough from scratch and even the special frosting. She broughta ton of goodies for them to decorate with and she gave each of the kids a pastry bag filled with frosting and let them have free reign. They all were so into making their own little house their way. It was so fun to just sit and watch them at work:) They all turned out so cute and unique. I love how different my kids are. Here are some shots of their fun last night. Thanks Auntie!



I liked Caleb's "snow' effect he came up with using coconut.

Aubs made a garden with gumdrops in her yard:)

Bryn used a whole jar of sprinkles on her "grass"! She also kept putting candy inside her house "for later". Funny girl.
