Gingerbread Houses

After a weekend with about twelve cancelled plans (slight exaggeration) because of a sick little lady, it was really great to gather as friends for something a little bit Christmasy. Last night we went straight from our santa date to the Troupin/Nixon household for some gingerbread house decorating.

Clara was really into it.
For about twelve seconds. Then she decided it was more fun to play with the frosting and scour the floor for dropped candies. The discarded candy + santa's candy cane probably contributed to the fact that she stayed up later than ever before last night.
The others had a slightly longer attention span. The adults, of course, finished it off. And then we watched Polar Express. For about ten minutes before heading home for Clara's early bed time. She didn't sleep because of her sugar high; we should've stayed.

Despite all this, it was great to gather with friends. We had a lovely evening.
