At the end of the day we were all very happy with the fun and interesting houses that were made, some could not wait to destroy it and eat all of it while others preferred to save it for latter and show their master pieces to family and friends. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by so many great people that come together making our lives better.

Funny I decided to play hooky today and enjoy the 14˚ heat wave from the inside while lining up my cookie and candy itinerary. And gingerbread cookies are right up there. Interesting ginger was meant for preservation because I think they are the heartiest of all the Christmas cookies and I don't have to worry about them keeping.
