A Magical Day

On Saturday Marilynn got the extra special treat of being invited to a gingerbread house making party at the house of the CEO of my company. Marilynn walked through the front door and said "Wow, it's a castle." Then, she got to make her very own castle out of gingerbread. It was a magical day for her! And yes, she went the CEO's house and didn't spill any red juice, didn't throw a tantrum and didn't even have a messy diaper. She was a perfect angel - go Marilynn!

The kids were treated to a special place setting with their own balloon and PIZZA! This is before the table got completely messy with candy, icing and gingerbread.

The kids were in candy heaven - it was just like Candy Land, but for real!


Marilynn was very meticulous with every detail of her house.


Yes - that is her kitchen. It's the most amazing kitchen I've ever seen - I could do some serious gingerbread baking in there.


I think that Marilynn actually ate more candy than she put on the house.


This is the "before" picture of the gingerbread houses.

The "after" picture is the one of the two of us together. They aren't really in order. Oh well. Ken is still at UPS - he's just in a different role now. He's loving it!
