One of my favorite Christmas traditions is the evening we decorate Gingerbread Houses.
I have posted pictures of previous years 
here and 
here and 
here.
This year it was four of us. A small intimate gathering. Brimming with enough enthusiasm (and bowls of candy) to fill a village.
And that is exactly what we did!
My husband and I took on a village, which we referred to as 
CandyLand....
|  | 
| Houses assembled. Candy bowls filled. | 
|  | 
| Laying out the road and deciding how many trees to include. |

| Last minute details, ooops mailbox needs a flag. | 
|  | 
| Welcome to our CandyLand village - would you like a gum drop? | 
Our youthful guests spent time picking a theme, crafting 'jolly rancher' designs and working on miniature people.
Ta da, here is a discreet (and quite beautiful) Gingerbread Meth House featuring Walt and Jesse from the hit series Breaking Bad.

| The inspiration! |

| Walt, Jesse, blue Jolly Rancher candy meth.....drying on the cutting board.

| Such a sweet home! | 
|  | 
| Walt is out front in his hazmat suit. | 
|  | 
| Aerial shot - blow back from the explosion has landed bits of meth in snow piles. | 
|  | 
| Just before Walt and Jesse hit the ground! | 
A really fun tradition.
 And photo-worthy!
