Gingerbread House event, Dec. 10

Got this event notice from Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine in my email today. I'm sharing it because I took my daughter to this event at the Roy's in Chandler back a few years back, and she had a ton of fun chatting up the other kids and decorating her gingerbread house.

I know the cost ($25 per child) can be a bit much for families on a tight budget. It is a splurge, but I justified it by thinking my house isn't getting messy and I'd pay about $10 for a kit anyway that doesn't have as many candies. Plus lunch is provided. Too bad they don't sell those discounted Roy's gift cards at Costco anymore. Well, I haven't seen them in a year. :(

I'll call in the morning to see if you must buy lunch or if you can just watch.
