Buoyed by the success of the cookie party, I decided to host a Gingerbread House party.
Ok, first I tried to sign up for the gingerbread workshop at Viking, but in the time it took them to tell me they could squeeze me and the monkeys (Satchel, 7 and Jiro, 5) into one of the sold out classes, I had a friend, the multi-talented Christiana Leibovich, offer to come help us.
I could not, however, convince Christiana to make the gingerbread. “We can just use graham crackers!” she said.
