Anyway, every year, the kids and I build gingerbread houses and other various structures. Some years, I let the kids do most of the decorating and such, but some years, I just feel the need to have my own project. This was one of those years.
Behold!

Now, you can waste your time wondering where I got the time for this, but that would be a waste of time.
Where there’s a will, there’s me… er, a way:)

You whisked that away so fast Sat. night I didn’t get a good look. That is amazing. I’m glad you blogged this. You would have won the contest if you could have left it. I imagine you had elsewhere you needed to be. You are a woman of many talents!!!!
Blair and I are taking Andy and Jenelle Young’s ballroom dance class on Saturday nights. Also, Rachel was having a major allergy attack, and Timothy was melting down: Recipe for a Family Flee:)
Wow.
Holy smokes Maren! You woman of many talents… frost a blue ribbon on there 😉 How long did this take you? It looks amazing. And fun!
I thought she was going to go crazy within the first day of not working on it, Like roaming the house with Royal frosting in her hand looking for things to put candy and gingerbread on.
Now I picture her house decked with royal icing! Great job by the way!!!
Amazing!!!
