YOU’RE GONNA WANT A COOKIE AFTER THIS – GN Kang’s Gingerbread House Party

A Sweet Entry…first congratulations to Nicole Cashman and Nigel Richards on their engagement over the weekend.Now on to today’s post.

It was a couple nights before Christmas and all through the house were amateur architectsvying for the best Gingerbread House The party was hosted by G-N Kang and her boyfriend Ian, who would go on to judge the finished houses to see who would win the Apple TV. Second prize was Gift Card to Paddywhacks. Everyone else got a bottle of Tequila or pick of DVD

The house that inspired it all. GN loves Hello Kitty. After she and Ian constructed their house the week before, they thought hmm wouldn’t it be fun…
