The perfect amalgamation of home improvement and food. Here is a link to Grace and last years gingerbread house. I have a photo of this years house, but my cable is misplaced, so this will have to do for now. http://flickr.com/search/?q=gingerbread&w=82302491%40N00
Grace and I have been decorating a gingerbread house every year for several years now. The gingerbread house in the photo was christened the "california house" because if you look closely, you can seen a large crack due to an earthquake. As you can see, the house starts out with a lovely mosaic of candy on the outside. After several days, it looks like Katrina has struck. On Christmas when you all come over, you can check out this years house - after all the candy has been eaten off. When Adam was younger, after Christmas was over it was his important responsibility to smash the house outside for the squirrels. He did it with great zeal, and I hope he's not too old this year to carry on the tradition.
For Christmas this year, Pam is in charge of lasagna and other goodies, Ann has dessert and Brian and I will provide the rest.

I can't wait to see the Gingerbread House. According to Martha, the best way to avoid wall cave-in is to fill the Gingerbread House with European chocolate (70 - 90% cocoa).
