Let Them Eat Candy Houses

Gabriel's class started their gingerbread houses before winter break, but because Portland doesn't have enough snowplows to clear the roads, any threat of snow causes the school district to close down the schools. So the last half of the week before winter break was pretty disappointing. The kids were pretty bummed out not being able to put on a puppet show, make holiday cookies or complete their gingerbread houses. Luckily Gabriels' teacher decided that in January they would finish their masterpieces of sugar and candy. I came into the class that day to help tend to the sugar induced madness. Later when Gabriel returned home we added some fun details to his candy home to make it picture perfect. Delicious too!!!
