Throw your arms around the world, it's gingerbread time

After some serious pressure from Sharon Reid I am finally getting some photos of our gingerbread extravaganza on the blog.

Before that though I would like to inform everyone that her hair is lovely (refer to her blog about a 'mumsy' cut) In actuality the haircut she wanted was pure white trash, and it's only thanks to her intrepid hairdresser that she doesn't look like someone out of Trailer Park Boys (or like Vicky Pollard, for you British viewers). That's only my opinion, however, and Sharon is one of those people that always look great (be-atch)

Anyhoo,

after a long journey and very late night (thanks Mae) we got down to building our festive homes. Ailsa, as you can see, is very ordered (one sweet on house, one in mouth). And although Heather's roof fell off, she is smiling with icing on her mouth! Mae kept saying that all her sweets kept falling off, so she had to eat them. Ever the recycler.

It's really nice to be so close to Sharon and John and the girls and we are looking forward to spending more time with them over Christmas, so more pics will surely follow. Heather is finally starting to warm up to me (sweets in pockets help) and Ailsa is a real giggler. I love those girls!!!
