Gingerbread House

 We have made our first ever gingerbread house!

  



We borrowed a house cutter for all the pieces.

Then iced and decorated it while it was flat, waited for it all to set hard then glued it together with icing.

We had to glue in stages, first the sides, then roof then doors, chimney, people and trees.

We're saving it until Monday when Auntie Lizzie arrives and we're with the cousins, can't wait!

And today in the snail mail a letter from Santa in Lapland arrived, yippee!

And old elf friend of mine made it happen!  And Santa even sends his regards to our dog Chloe!  He knows everything!

High tea monday at mine

Once a month three friends and myself have a high tea at one of our houses.  Its just something a bit nicer than coming round for a cuppa. This month it was my turn.  Its great to get out the old china that sits in the cupboard most of the time.

The kids love it too and Marco had dished out his and his little friends morning tea long before anyone arrived.
