Gingerbread House

Last night, we all made our FIRST Gingerbread house! I was going to do it with the boy's during the day, but decided that Dad had to be a part of it, so it turns out I was right, because it was much more enjoyable! Here's our house....

Dad's holding the roof on, waiting for the icing to dry.....

I put the icing on, dad's holding the chimney on, while the boy's are decorating!

The finished house!

The boy's did most all of the candy decorating, we helped a bit suggesting where to put some, but they did SO wonderful! Canyon designed the front walkway to the house....

"Rivers side" of the house....

"Canyons side" of the house is on the left...

I knew there would be no keeping them away from eating some, so I told them before we started, that if we could get through building it, I'd take pictures, and then they could have at it!

So, here is River enjoying some.....

Canyon went for the gumballs first.....

Even Dad's having some (I stole a few pieces too!)....

So, it was fun, and I think I'll buy another kit next pay day, so we can do it again!
