Gingerbread houses

What else have we been doing?

We spent one of our evenings making gingerbread houses!  This time went much better than the first time we did it two years ago. 

This is mostly because the elves (obviously very intelligent women) at the Wilton company now make these PRE-ASSEMBLED!  All the fun and none of the frustration of walls falling in and having to wait for the mortar to dry. 

We did have one casualty as Rachel sat on her box and crushed her house, but we gave her a few broken pieces, frosting and candy and she didn't care one little bit!

These came with a great plenty of frosting and candy to decorate each house, and we filled in with some extra decorations, too. 

 

This mom just may be ready to bring this project into the tradition rotation. :)
