Still, the best part of the day was meeting up with several other families and decorating gingerbread houses. The boys completely covered our house with candy (even stacking candy on top of the candy) while Janelle and I got to spend some time talking with other adults. We discovered today that among the things we hold in common is a similar taste in movies and television. We were even asked if we liked "Firefly"! That's right; there are browncoats in Alaska (I guess that shouldn't be too surprising).
I'm pretty tired, but feeling good nonetheless. We just need to figure out how to keep these gingerbread houses on display, but out of reach of our cats and kids.
