Hanukkah & Christmas Edible Houses & Cookies

Jason's Matzoh Lean-To. Note the festive Hanukkah decorations.

My (pre-baked Trader Joe's) gingerbread house.

Clay broke the oven. Then he and Jason fixed it.

Clay mixes up the 'royal icing' for the cookies.

Jason rolls the cookies out.

These are the cookies Jason and I decorated.

These are the more 'classical cookies that Monica decorated and attempted to spare from heaps of dye-colored sugar and sprinkles.

These are the sugar sprinkled masterpieces that Jason and I created when unfettered by Monica's good taste.

The heroic bakers!
