Gingerbread house 2008!!!

Here we are once again,,,the Brassell's gingerbread house made from scratch!! So much fun!
We finished the house tonight and then watched the roof collapse on one side! It was ok, we stuck a baby gingerbread man on the roof and pretended he was vandalizing the house of his parents...very disturbed little gingerbread fellow. Yes dad, that is the kitchen aid mixer you gave me for Christmas about 6 years ago!! still plugging along! makes great frosting!

We have made a different kind of cookie almost every day this month, that was my goal, and tonight we even made a PEPPERMINT CHEESECAKE from scratch! holy cow...it was amazing! Chocolate oreo crust and lots of heavy cream and sour cream and cream cheese...
we are obviously kicking off the end of the year with a bang! Might as well gain it all now so we can spend all next year trying to lose the winter insulation!
