Having a nice weekend. Bonus Son had a roller derby game in Carson City, NV yesterday. It was a beautiful 3hr drive.

One of the adult players from the adult team was being super aggressive the whole time, hitting the players in the face (which is not allowed) and other things. He was a tall guy too so some of our players couldn't get passed him but the coach from our team jammed through him, knocking him down and you can see her point and laugh in the beginning of the video. It was intense but our Lockeford Liberators played fair AND still won 💪

We stayed in a hotel/casino last night, then had a coupon for breakfast this morning... which we didn't have to pay AND it was a nice dining experience for FREE :D
Going to head home in about an hour.

There looks like a big difference in size Mad, are adults and kids mixed together to play all at once? Congrats to your Liberators on the win!

She used one of those tree disposal bags to cover it. All she had to do was wheel it in and plug it in.

First, I didn't know there was such a thing as a tree disposal bag

Second, seems like if you put it under the tree you can just pull it up when it is time to take the tree out without knocking needles on the floor (or maybe that is how they are used?) And yes, I DO understand that in her case, the needles aren't supposed to fall off.

Third, how does a tree disposal bag look over the tree in the house? ;)

Sounds like you are!
Roller derby on a flat (not) track? That has to be kinda hard. And adults against kids? Just not right!!!

My number 1 tip for assembling, use a glue gun!

Doesn't that impart a less than satisfying taste and texture to the house?

It's all for fun and decoration so I don't see it as being a waste.

As long as you take good photos,and you certainly have, it isn't a waste. I love the barn!

Great photos and video, Mad!
Looking forward to seeing your tree decor, DMC.

Here is a picture of my little ButterBean. He is sure getting some color.

That looks like a nice fake tree! Next we gotta see the decoration :D
Charlie Brown Christmas trees are my favorite - my mom and I did that for a few years. We'd go to a tree lot and ask for the ugliest tree, and usually got a fat discount.

That's awesome Debby!! Did you make the gingerbread from scratch or did you find one from a box?

Thanks! I like the Charlie Brown also.

DMC, that's big tree! It's going to look beautiful with all your decorations on it!

About the gingerbread houses...I start with a kit. TSC has the best ones I've found so far (the house I did this year was a kit from Michael's and not as large or as nice). My number 1 tip for assembling, use a glue gun! Forget trying to stick walls and roof together with Royal icing, it takes too long to set up and isn't as strong. The decorations are all put on with the icing and the kits never have much extra of that.

These are the 2 previous g-bread houses I've made. The first when we lived in FL and the 2nd when I was living in the company house:
