| The construction site is always a big mess! |
Our annual Gingerbread Fest with the Camerons and Deans is a moving target. Some years we do New Year's party houses, some years we make Valentine love shacks, some years we make leprechaun huts, and some years it is new housing for the Easter Bunny. We never make them for Christmas; I think that must be the only rule! Last year we used milk cartons to help hold the house structures together, and this year we went even easier and used graham crackers for construction material instead of baked gingerbread panels. You know what? The kids did not even notice, and they enjoyed the decorating and candy sampling just as much as ever.

Candy sampling was the activity of the day. We did eat pizza before construction time, just to try and fill the kids with something slightly nutritious before the onslaught of sugar, but it was still all about the lollipops, jelly beans, smarties, chocolate eggs, licorice and peeps. Only Andy, who held baby Finna for the whole construction, escaped the binge. Jeni might have ingested less than the rest of us too, since she took all of these great photos! It was a sweet day, as usual ;)
