Baked with love~

Monday we went to my mom's house to decorate gingerbread houses she had baked. She thought Nova would have fun with it. He really just wanted to eat the candy and play with the Mickey Mouse Playhouse there. Ah well!

Kevin had requested an outhouse. She made him a two seater, he was delighted. He really got into decorating it!

Then mom invited Kevin's sister Joyce over and put a house together for her to decorate as well.

We had a blast! I stayed with the traditional red/green decor, but I was half way through before realizing she had three tubs of pink sprinkles I could've used! I'll do a froufrou one next time!

Here they are awaiting their candy coating~

Here's a slideshow of how things evolved. I love the big candy jars!

OH! Pardon me Santa, I didn't know you were in there!! (Eeek!)

Joyce's masterpiece~

Kevin's um... candy crapper~ (He's so proud)

And lastly my humble home~
(I warn you it was a mascara only day with hair in a french braid)

The villiage

Nova checking out the scene~

These will keep for years if they are stored without moisture or heat, but they're fun to eat too!

Am I the only one with the song "Candy Man" stuck in my head?
