Have you ever wondered what your kitchen looks like after 14 girls get together to make gingerbread houses? We don't have to wonder anymore. Lindsey had a gingerbread house party for her friends this year (this was in lieu of a Christmas gift). A couple of days before the party, I baked and I baked and I baked. (If anyone needs pointers on gingerbread, I've had a crash course). We had gingerbread piled around the kitchen for a couple of days because it works better if the gingerbread has dried out. My kids all said the house smelled great, I'm hoping that is the memory they keep and not the memory of the mess.
