Last night I attended a gingerbread house decorating party. It was hosted by one of the girls from our church and there were about 15 girls who came. Teresa (the hostess) baked all the gingerbread and assembled the houses! I am so impressed with her. I was expecting kits or graham crackers, but she went all out and it was awesome!
I have never, in my whole life, decorated a gingerbread house. It was just never something that my mom did and therefore we never had them in our house. So the decorating was a foreign concept to me. Everyone who came brought a different kind of candy. We all had our own house, a bag of icing, and tons of candy.
It was a lot harder than I was expecting. You really have to be creative to make a good house. I kept looking around at the other houses and they looked soo nice. The details on the roofs, icicles hanging from the eaves it was all so creative. In the end, I am happy with my house. Everyone said that their kids would love it because there is so much candy on it. And when I brought it home, Michael loved it (maybe because there is so much candy on it).
So I made it through my first attempt at a gingerbread house. Maybe this will be the start of a new holiday tradition for the Biancos.
I had such a great time with all the girls who were there. It was nice to sit around and talk and laugh. Especially since the conversation had nothing to do with medicine. I can't wait for the next girls night!

I love your gingerbread house! I think it is great! See you soon!
Your gingerbread house is beautiful. A very nice job for the first time decorating one. Getting together with friends, laughing and having fun is always a plus. I love Emmy's picture by the Christmas tree. Should have put a bow on her and made her a present [for me :)].
