Gingerbread Houses (and sugar cookies)

We invited John's and Don's family over to explore our culinary talents.  We began with a delicious meal provided by Darin (roast beef, potatoes, rolls and vegetables).  Then we brought out the gingerbread houses, the icing and the treats and let the kids get to it!  They decorated gingerbread houses while I made sugar cookies.

David and Beck with their creations

Brig testing the frosting (I'm pretty sure the orange was all his after he double, then triple, then several times dipped)

Ross is a natural!  He had so many great designs.

David said, "I'm going to hold the cookie in front of my face."  and then he did.

Sean and his house

A work in progress...

John just brought this up last night and how fun it was. Thanks so much for having them all over. Maybe I can come up with something similar for Spring.
