Gingerbread House Building 2011

Back in Pennsylvania, the Pickett home kind of got famous for its gingerbread house parties. We made the newspaper once and sometimes had as many as 20 people building houses. It was quite a production just for Jeanne to bake all the pieces and glue the houses together. But it was fun and became quite a tradition. So, we've tried to keep the tradition here in Edmonds. This year, Jeanne's birthday doubled as Ginger Bread House day. It was a nice crowd and there was some pretty intense building competition along with a great deal of candy eating.
