Gingerbread Birthday

Annette's Birthday was definitely holiday themed this year (a break from fairies and princesses) and it was so much fun, several of her friends came over to help make gingerbread houses and celebrate her third year.

I made the little houses the day before using gram crackers that I hot glued together, it worked well, we had nice sturdy little houses to decorate, much better than real gingerbread although not if you were to eat it, but who really gets past the candy to eat the stale cookies anyway?

It's hard to know where all that candy and frosting went in the end, the houses or the kids, but it was a lovely day spent with friends and loved ones. Here are a few pictures of the sugar infused day.
