For years now, Aunt Katie has helped an old family friend with a nice, holiday-themed fundraiser. Don't ask me why, because I don't have a good answer, but we never participated until this year. The event: Gingerbread house decorating. The place: Mrs. Pumpkin's Bakery. The cause: The Special Children's School and Family Support Network of Greater Forsyth.
We were greeted by the ever cheerful, Aunt Katie. She led us to our station, complete with gingerbread house with tons of candy on the side. Ellie knew exactly what to do. No, she didn't start eating the candy (EM and I did that). She started putting candy on the house. It was only following the brilliant example of her parents that she started eating the candy.
We were there only a short time. But it was fun. It was for a good cause. And now we have a customized decoration for the home to help us kick start the holidays. Good deal. Thanks, Aunt Katie.

P.S. - Santa was there, but Ellie wanted nothing to do with him. Surprise.

Some really nasty food I was served at a wedding.
That is a wonderful Gingerbread House. Job well done Ellie! Hope it makes it to 12/26.
