Ginger Bread

My mom invited us to go look at the Ginger Bread Houses at Grand America Hotel on Saturday. They were all amazing. I wish I was creative enough to make ours that GRAND.

They had such amazing detail.


and even furniture

We got inspired to do our own.





But when the roof kept falling off we had to call in the professional

The owner of the studio came up to me a few weeks ago to tell me what a good dancer Kylee is and that its just so natural to her. I almost was in tears!
