Both houses look great. I did this one year with some girlfriends. Childish and yet oh-so-fun. Need to do it again.

I love the houses! How fun to do that together.

Shelley you did so great this year, I'm sure you'll beat the holidays and will lose some weight this month. If anyone can do it, it's you!

I'm looking forward to your pictures tomorrow!

Ha! Now I know what to look forward to when my boy goes to college...it is good to know putting candy boobs on your gingerbread family never gets old. Oh and I thought your cat was a really awesome turtle....

How fun! The most random addition I have heard of (to a gingerbread house) has got to be gummi penguins in a hot tub in the backyard. But some of yours come close.

I LOVE it! What a grand idea. I might have to steal that and do it with my family next year. My hubby will love the gun turret. LOL

I loved the casket from team HIOB! LOL.

I so want to do a gingerbread house - it looks like you had a blast!

I have my fingers crossed for you! Even if you don't lose weight, but maintain at least some control, consider that a huge victory. Think about where you were in years past.

What a fun idea!! Wish I'd planned ahead enough t...

Cute. My kids do one of those kits every year. This year, sadly, they started pulling pieces off before I photographed it. While they say they're saving the house for "later" I notice that a lot of gum drops have been pulled off the roof, and the candies on the windows have all gone missing.
