Gingerbread house


Two days ago MJ baked the pieces for the gingerbread house. Yesterday she and KA put it together and decorated it. The note there tells everyone NOT to eat anything until Christmas Eve so people can admire it first. We have to wait until MJ's two brothers and DC's wife get here (with their two dogs!) tomorrow.

After hearing horror stories of all the snow in Seattle and Bellingham, WA, we are very grateful that AE and KA left Sea-Tac Airport before another foot of snow fell on Saturday. The pictures of all the people stuck for days at that airport make me glad I'm not flying anywhere this holiday season!

I'm so impressed MJ baked the pieces from scratch. We've bought a kit. Two actually. MJ's and KA's look beautiful!

Hope it's not too cold for you all.

Wonderful gingerbread house! What a great family tradition.

And so very glad everyone got there from the Arctic Northwest.

Great Gingerbread!
Our Eldest Son is supposed to take the train down from Seattle today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

What great houses. I've always wanted to make one, but you've given me inspiration. Have a blessed Christmas.
