The Making of The Gingerbread House!

We let the kids open a "gift" a little early. They were so excited to tear off the paper and even more excited to see candy, icing, and cookies inside!
This was mine & Jason's first year to ever do a Gingerbread House (in our life...just in case you didn't get that)! We had a great time as we spent the next 2 hours (yes you heard me right 2 HOURS) working on our house!!!! So there it is...the masterpiece...finished! We were so proud of our house! Then it was time to watch our movie (Fred Claus). As we were sitting there watching our movie we heard a loud noise. Apparently an Earthquake had struck the dining room where our Gingerbread house was drying. When we arrived one side of the roof and one wall had fallen off (glad I got my pictures first!). Since we had no homeowner's insurance we decided to go ahead and eat the fallen pieces.

  1. This is absolutely the cutest! I'll have to try it with Emily. Was this in a kit or did you do it from scratch? Too cute. Hope y'all are doing good and are too cold. Did you have any snow up your way?

  2. Now I want to build a gingerbread house. Humm... I don't know that I could keep Rylie from eating it though. Our house would probably look like it was housing a rat or two.

  3. We'll be braving the gingerbread house in a few days (actually it's the exact same as yours!). This year I'll let the girls do it on their own, so it won't be a masterpiece quite like yours. Yours is too pretty to eat!! Good thing it fell apart on its own so you wouldn't feel so guilty breaking it yourself!
