At the seventh annual Gingerbread Workshop held last Fridayat Westlawn Elementary in Falls Church, about 250 children set to work on their miniature gingerbread houses.

The students, from across the age spectrum, received some helpful supervision of faculty and parents, who also replenished the resources of marshmallows, candies and white icing for the decoration. Kelly Lesperance and Carole O’Gara have organized the annual event every year, with an ever growing number of students and parents participating. (Photo: News-Press)
