Peep Houses

Mar 25, 2011

While on Pin­ter­est I came across this fun tuto­r­ial and saved it to make with my niece Made­lyn while she was sup­posed to visit this week for Spring Break. Well she decided she wasn’t ready just yet to stay a week so far away from home. So I sent the tuto­r­ial to my mom and she made them with Mad and Bel­lie. They were a hit so thanks a bunch Kasey Buick for this really fun project. Here are the pho­tos dad emailed me.

Mom made a batch of royal icing as it was a bit eas­ier for the girls to keep their houses together when they started decorating.

Not sure if lit­tle Bel­lie is still dec­o­rat­ing or snag­ging a jelly bean.

Mad and Bel­lie loved dec­o­rat­ing their houses. You can see Bel­lie con­cen­trat­ing hard in this photo. And yes she is wear­ing a cat ears head­band that she got back in Octo­ber. She has worn that head band every sin­gle day (unless her mom can hide it) since and you MUST call her Kitty Cat. If not, she will remind you. She is a nutty lit­tle girl. But when you are three you get by with that kinda stuff.

And here they are with their fin­ished peep houses. Mom is going to wrap them in clear cel­lo­phane tied with a bow so they can give them to some lucky fam­ily members.

I wish I lived closer. I miss and love them so much. Tomor­row, I’ll be wash­ing and pack­ing clothes to get ready to head to Cincin­nati Sun­day. I will update you dur­ing the week with all that is going on there. It will be a busy but fun week.
