edible architecture

 On Sunday The Smiths came over for a holiday meal and to make and dismantle gingerbread houses.  We did gingerbread houses with the girls once already and all I can say is those kids seriously want to eat the house once it's done.  In good conscience I cannot let them eat the year-old boxed gingerbread cutouts with rock hard candy.

Solution?

Have Ange make you some gingerbread, fresh from the oven and impossibly delicious.  Decorate with "fresh" candy till the house caves in and you are left with no choice but to consume the rubble.

(And yes, Maya IS wearing 3 ponytails on her head.)
Here is a photographic catalog of such an event:

 

Oh, good golly. I love these children.
