Edible architecture

The other day, our fabulous cake lady offered me 2 decadent gingerbread houses to have the boys decorate. Of course!! We'd love to make a mess, eat tons of candy, and then call it art! The boys got down and dirty, with icing, and decorated to their little hearts content. Reed was doing jumping jacks and running laps around the house after about 10 spice drops, 2 chocolate chimneys, 4 cookies, 3 twizzlers, and a handful of red hots. Oh, that was what he ATE, all the other stuff ended up on the houses and they were so proud of their creations.
