Candy and Gingerbread. . .

Are the ingredients for a great family project.

And this project really did take everyone's help. Adelyn and I started building the house while Preston was taking a nap and Ryan was at his Sunday meeting. By the time he got home, I'm pretty sure both kids were screaming and the gingerbread house was (unfinished) on the refrigerator. I let Ryan and Adelyn make the final touches while I fed Preston some much-deserved gum drops.

We were pretty pleased with the result.

And a smiling girl means the project was a success.
