Gingerbread House Party
















This is one of the best ideas for a Christmas party I've seen. I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Trish's house last Sunday for her MOM ONLY gingerbread house party. I must say, after spending most of the month of December running around to parties and events for the children, this was a welcome change. She prepared everything in advance, and had all the little candies ready for us to adorn our houses. We had a lite supper and yummy chocolate peppermint martinis to start the evening. The ladies were all so creative, and all the houses turned out adorable. My kids were so impressed when I brought it home. Amanda Lily was upset that she didn't get to join in on the fun, but not to worry. Trish invited her over on Monday to make her very own gingerbread house with Joshie. They used up all the leftover candy from our Mom night. (:
I am posting this mostly to encourage any of you girls who are looking for a fun party to put together for the Christmas season. Trish is so creative in her party planning, and such an inspiration to me.

That looks like a lot of fun! You're right - Mom's don't get to do that kind of stuff. I think it's too late for me to plan something like that for this Christmas, but maybe next year.....

that is a good idea...i'll have to remember that for next year too! I bought a gingerbread house this year that i think i'll let the bigger kids do today. i'm sure it won't look near as pretty as yours!!!
