Ally & Hudson’s gingerbread party

Among an insane amount of cookie and cupcake orders, I thought why not add to my already overflowing holiday to-do list and throw a gingerbread house making party for my friends and their kids?

Best idea ever. My friends are really good moms. Really GOOD moms. 13 children came to party without a single scream, yell, tantrum, or fit thrown the entire time. It was calm. Almost relaxing calm. It was as if all the moms teamed up, like we’re here for a single purpose, let’s do this together. No giant messes, no big spills, no toys baskets dumped, no breaks, just a fantastic group of kids.

Until Hudson sprayed perfume in his eyes.

    This has GOT to be one of the most darling winter wonderland parties I have ever seen! I found your blog via photos on Pinterest & I bet everybody is going to be making "North Pole" Cupcakes this year.
    May I ask how you did the little signs on them?

    Admiringly yours,
    Rett

    Jenny, I love the north pole cupcakes! I'd like to use it in a round up of ideas that can be made with kids as holiday gifts. The post would be published on TLC's Parentables.com website. May I have your permission to use a photo and link back to you?

    LOVE this party! Planning my daughter's 3rd Birthday party now and we are doing a Reindeer themed party. I love the aprons you gave out and wanted to find similar ones (with reindeer hopefully!) Do you mind sharing where you had those made?

    Jenny!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your North Pole cupcakes. I would love to make them for my daughter’s class for their Holiday Party. Would you mind sending me the recipe for them and what kind of sugar/topping you used on top? Is that just a straight piece of candy cane or did you just push the curved end of the candy cane into the cupcake? Pure genius!

  17. I absolutely adore your North Pole cupcakes! But everything else is just as awesome! L-O-V-E!

  18. This is absolutely PRECIOUS! I’m gonna have an adult-sized gingerbread party! <3

  19. I totally love what you did with this party, you are a super star Mom. I am going to re-blog this on my blog and show off all your hard work!
