Advent Event involves icing

Tonight our church held an Advent Event that started with a chicken and dumpling supper, progressed into a story hour that included a Nativity Story book illustrated by an Australian artist, and had its grand finale in construction of "gingerbread" houses from graham crackers. Norm and I are clearly novices at this craft, but we were proud that our little house was still standing at the end of the evening and actually made it all the way home tonight. Now, if we can only keep Ava from sampling it this weekend! More gingerbread houses can be seen on the Compton Cares blog.
