Gingerbread Party 2011

As a child, my mom made gingerbread houses every year for her first grade classroom. Although I could never confirm it, I like to think children secretly begged their parents to switch classrooms just so they could be a part of Mrs. Perkins gingerbread fun.

We began this morning making icing...the way any 3-year old would...messy.

Today, I hosted a gingerbread party of my own. With my precious daughter and a few of our friends. And Nana of course. What a special day it was for all of us, full of fun, friends and lots of sugar. Just the way we like it!

And after all that sugar, we had to spend some time in our new bounce house to burn off some energy. Here, Adelyn is coming out of the house...


Elliana and Nana post party excitement or sugar high...whichever you prefer

And a picture of myself and Nana taken by Elliana...thus the large belly shot (~ 6 months pregnant).
