WHEW. . . . . .
Tonight we have our annual build a gingerbread house at the kids elementary school. Myself and a friend are in charge of this event. Little did I know when I so quickly volunteered that I would have to make the frosting. I just finished filling 90 ziploc bags of frosting. What a job, actually, it went rather fast. I still need to make a bit more but ran out of eggs. My friend made 50 bags. We have a huge group signed up for the event. Last year there was only 30 families this year we have over 200 people. Amazing. Its a cheap evening with your kids, we charge only $2 and you get to make a house, and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. I know with the economy the way it is most families are looking for ways to spend time with their kids that doesn't cost and arm and a leg! My kids are excited and even anxious to go along and help set-up! What a gift they are to me!

Mmmmm....frosting.
Sounds like lots of fun. I've never tried to build a gingerbread house before. I'm too worried it wouldn't turn out well and I'd be disappointed.
what fun!
