Yesterday afternoon Sean, Tashena, Marilyn, and I made gingerbread houses which is a tradition we have had ever since Tashena joined our family and, as always, it was a lot of fun! This year I got kits for these elaborate gingerbread manor houses because I thought they looked so cool but they ended up taking a long time to decorate! None of us even bothered to decorate the backs of our houses (Sean didn't even decorate the sides) because they were so big. They came with lots of candy (I still bought more) and royal icing in bags with piping tips. It turns out that I am not very good at piping (I even had a major incident in which I got icing everywhere and I had to have Sean get it all back in the bag) but I think it would be fun to learn how to do it better.
I always have to get the traditional picture of Sean eating the icing!
