The great gingerbread build of 2017! We did miss our gingerbread building partners and historical suppliers of gingerbread building materials, the Parkers, and our travelling friend, Aunty Mel, but it was also an opportunity to try making our own gingerbread pieces. As always, lots of sugar, some structural integrity challenges, and good fun with friends.

Let the sweet divisions begin!

Is there icing on my face?

The Bradshaws get their build on

Careful allocation and distribution of the sweets

Mom gives some support

Making sure the concrete is thick enough

Piecing things together in the mobile gingerbread homes, built to travel

Prepping the roof

The results are in! Grace (right) and Eli’s (left) houses
