Candy Cane Lane
So I missed a week of blogging being out sick with the flu, and thank you for all your kind tweets, thoughts and comments. It really did help me feel better! I wanted to share this last week, but I am glad I can share them today instead.
I have family scattered all over the U.S. From Boulder and Denver, to Minneapolis and Chicago, with my parents and a few siblings in Oklahoma. So when my family traveled to KC to celebrate turkey day, I knew exactly what I wanted to do on Black Friday! We had our annual gingerbread house decorating event!
Sarah and Rachel working on their house
And the boys house covered in red hots!
The girls built a cute snowman out of royal icing covered gumdrops with a cute pumpkin face candy!
And the boys made a tree out of royal icing and sprinkles
All the houses were adorned with a wreath!
There was even a chimney built out of licorice with a gumdrop santa! They lasted adorned with their "lights of jellybeans" for ohhh about 3 hours before I noticed one house was bare! That would be a certain 16 year old who decided to undecorate the house!! Geez......Boys!!!
