Our Gingerbread House (yep we used a kit!)

kids making gingerbread house

Pie & Mr.T. successfully built a gingerbread house this weekend! This is a big step up from the gingerbread house disaster of last year! lol

2009 gingerbread house

 

Of course the funnest part is eating the leftover icing! They thoroughly enjoyed every last lick they could squeeze out of that bag! I’ve got to say that that gingerbread house smells DELICIOUS! It’s right behind me on the table and I’ve been smelling it all day! Do you think anyone would notice if I bit off a corner of the roof??? Hmmmm


I realize that my camera skills are still sadly lacking! I really need to get out my manual and learn to take better pics! The lighting in our house just doesn’t like the camera! Okay, that’s an excuse, it’s probably just me, not the lighting!

    I love it!! I buy a get (50-80% off) at the end of Christmas. . .We don't eat the house, so it works well. Merry Christmas!!

    I remember I made a gingerbread house from scratch at school in 1 or 2nd grade! We used Graham Crackers and frosting as the “glue!” It was so fun! :D And delicious! (:
