We made our gingerbread house this past weekend. I bought a kit that came ready to put together.
Step 1: House construction (Ryan had to take over this phase since I couldn't get the roof to stay in place).
Natalie wanted to help |
Step 2: Decorating. Natalie went down for her nap and Claire wanted to change into Christmas PJ's
Note: I am NOT artistic at all, but Ryan is :) Claire liked to do the landscaping around the house since she had a hard time getting the candies to stick to the house.
Natalie woke up just as we were finishing, next year she'll be able to participate!
Step 3: The Finished Product
The back was neglected |

So fun! I've wanted to do a ginger bread house for the last couple of years, but haven't gotten around to it. What a fun family tradition!
