The finished house. We were not allowed to take it back ashore, so they said it had to be eaten or thrown away.
This year I finally got us tickets for making the gingerbread house on the ship. Last year, we didn't think you needed to sign up, so we missed out. It was only one per family, and when we asked if we could have another house, since we had 2 rooms and more kids, they said they had over 50 people on the waiting list. Hayley, Courtney and Chase had so much fun decorating it. Chase actually just loved eating the icing! All of the pieces were prebaked and fit the little box house that is at the bottom of the picture above. The pieces just needed to be stuck on with icing as the glue. It was the most authentic gingerbread house we have ever made, with the least amount of hassle---no prep, set up, or clean up. :)
Courtney on formal night. The kids never stuck around long for dinner. They would eat and get out of there. That was ok, because Jared and I could eat in peace!
For some reason, Chase was never too happy at dinner time. It wasn't the food, because they had cheese pizza every night.
