Gingerbread Houses

The entire 3rd grade at Abby's school gets together each holiday season to make gingerbread houses.  The kids come with their houses (milk cartons covered with brown paper) already assembled.  Then, they each bring a small bag or two of candy and share it with everyone else at their table.  The brave moms that come and help get to do the frosting detailing.  Then, it is away we go with the decor!  Abby was meticulous and loved every minute of it.  It was fun to be there with her this year and to watch the creative juices flow.

As you can see, she is very focused on the task at hand....

It all ends up being well worth it in the end, what a beautiful house!!

Good job, Abby!!!
