Gingerbread Affair

Cousin Jay was a doll to invite his “best friend Cookie” and John over for an afternoon of gingerbread house decorating and lunch!  The breakfast room’s candy themed decorations were perfect for the affair and of course Sister had the table smartly appointed with all sorts of confections for our decorating (and eating) pleasure.

Each of the littles had a gingerbread house, plate of candies and festive drink at their place.  I adore how she used white cotton candy for snow!

Cookie and Bird spent the lion’s share of their time indulging in all of the treats while Sister and I tried to coax them into actually putting the candy on their houses.  I suppose it was all just too tempting to pass up!  The PCP, on the other hand, went to town decorating his house.  Mimi helped him with the icing but it was all a product of his imagination.

We let the houses dry while we noshed on takeout from Figo Pasta – one of our favorite eats!  They all turned out absolutely adorable and the littles were each quite proud of their work.

The boys left with darling party favors – Sister put cupcakes topped with gingerbread man peeps in clear party cups and then bagged them in cello bags with festive paper shreds.  Bird gave this same treat to his classmates last week as well!  So cute!

Here’s to hoping these survive another thirty-six hours so that they can be the centerpiece on my Christmas breakfast table…
