Gingerbread, Frosting & Candy, Oh My!






Okay, its not real gingerbread. Graham crackers to be exact, but hey. Brooke spent a few nights with us and I wanted to try and do something fun with the kids. Rachel and Alec made sure that I bought the stuff to make gingerbread houses this last time I went to the store.

Things were moving smoothly until Rachel's house collapsed. I had pre-warned them "you MUST have patience when doing this". When hers fell she abruptly walked out of the room frustrated. So what does a mom do? Pick up the pieces and make it all better. And thats just what I did.

After lots of finger licking and candy eating, they produced their sweet little charming houses.

Then Rachel hurt her foot running around the house with Brooke and the rest of the night was ruined.

Well not completely ruined, but pretty close.

Okay, my kids gingerbread houses had a TON of frosting on them. I think we went a little overboard on the frosting! SUGAR BUZZZZZ.

Looks like they had fun, and they turned out cute.
