January Hanukkah house

A congregant gifted me with a Hanukkah gingerbread house on Friday, saying that someone had given it to her but that her kids were too old for it, and would we still build it even if the holiday was over?  Would we ever!
Note Connor reaching for one of the bowls of candy.  One half-second after this shot, the candy was all over the floor.




This side has the "A" for Ari.





Lollipops make the world go round.





Xander made his own "X" on the roof, and then we did a "C" on the wall for Connor.





It even came with real (sadly inedible) dreidels.
As soon as these pictures were taken Ari proclaimed that the house was done, and we should eat it.  Xander agreed, and as we tore into the concoction, he exclaimed, "We're ripping open the house just like in Holmes Inspection!" (a reality renovation show we've been watching which X loves, as he learns all about how everything is built inside a home)

      Well, some weeks we do more than others. Some weeks we just get through the days! As for the haircut... yeah, we were annoyed with the stylist too. She did a bad job on both boys.

    What a delicious project -- and so successful.. It makes me think of Hansel and Gretel, and the breadcrumbs, and the happy ending to that story. Like the happy ending to this candy-house.
