I'm not sure what the guy equivalent to this would be . . . .

Sunday afternoon I attended a "sleigh party". Now many of you are wondering what exactly a sleigh party might be because you know I live in Texas and, yes, it was 88 degrees on Saturday (but then dropped into the 40's that night - brrrrr). So we weren't taking rides in a sleigh, but we were making sleighs, and not just any sleighs but CANDY sleighs. Yipee, girl time.

My friend Aimee (aimclaim - check her out she's a good read and needs more visitors - see Aimee you didn't have to beg for readership because I am guilt-tripping my readers into visiting you) and her sweet momma invited a group of us gals to come and make gingerbread candy sleighs, except we used cardboard so they are only partially edible.

With the help of Julie (the cake making queen) I successfully constructed my own sleigh with only a little bit of mess (especially in comparison to Leah who had a testy icing bag to contend with).

Now I know you don't know any of these gals but peruse my pics and enjoy.

For my male readership, I present a question of sorts. What would the male equivalent of this be? Submit your answers and the best one wins a suprise.

And now on to the pictures:

Hard at work. Seriously, this was hard, not as hard as brain surgery but pretty darn close. Have I mentioned that I'm a bit of a perfectionist so that tendency came out with a vengance on this adventure.

Aimee and her wonderful mom were the resident experts

Poor Leah has some trouble and she got SUMO messy, hee hee.

Major construction going on here. Check out Julie (cake decorating extraordinare) and sassy Margaret.

Here's Amy with her fun completed sleigh.

Kristie and Leah had some trouble with their icing bag and instead of offering to help I laughed and took pictures (sorry ladies)


















Margaret and Liz - Liz is 5 months preggo with a sweet baby girl.

Wahoo a bunch of good lookin gals and some kick butt candy sleighs.
