Scott had baked gingerbread virtually non-stop for a week so that everyone could make gingerbread houses. The garage was cleaned out and setup with long tables and everyone was swarming around decorating sugar cookies and constructing gingerbread houses. There was frosting and candy everywhere!
Miles and Ashton were working on one together, but somehow the gingerbread they had was too soft so it kept falling down. It looked kind of like a condemned meth house. They gave up, but afterwards when most people had left, Lisette and Miles made their own from the leftovers, and Ian and I decorated someone's abandoned house. We ended up taking 3 of them home.
Today is Monday and two are left standing, albeit with some candy missing, and one looks like it got hit by Hurricane Ian. Ian is practical and doesn't want to let the candy and gingerbread go stale. Needless to say, we helped him out.

Hey I was just clicking around and saw your blog. Loved it. I used to live in Salt Lake too and still have a lot of friends there. Plus a Mormon Democrat? I thought I was one of the only ones!

Thanks for your kind comment! My parents moved to Cordova, AK about 7 years ago and they love it. We're going up to visit again next fall.
Yes, it seems like a Mormon Democrat is an oxymoron, but we do exist. You just have to look under a lot of rocks to find us!
