On December 4 we hosted a gingerbread house decorating party for our homeschool group. We had more than 20 kids over, in two shifts. Much sugar was consumed and a good time was had by all.
December 3, many hours were spent rolling, cutting and baking the gingerbread house pieces. 
10 down, only 16 to go.(I made a total of 26 houses...you have to have a few extras!)
Josh snapped this picture while we were getting ready for guests to arrive, I had to include it because I think it's cute.
Royal icing...turns out you can make quite a mess making this stuff.
Our first guest arriving.
Hard at work.
Miriam uses mints as roof tiles.
Busy, busy.
A few of the houses lost structural integrity during the decorating process. Samuel chose to re-fashion his into a 'tent'.
Time for more candy! 
The second shift. 
These guys really put some thought into designing their houses. 
I love this. That is a helicopter and a helo pad. 
Miriam and one of our guests do a little impromptu 'ice skating' as we say goodbye. It was a lot of work but well worth it. I'm thinking this may have to become an annual tradition.
