Gingerbread Houses


We made Gingerbread houses on Saturday, and the kids both loved it. Elise had been begging to make one for weeks, so I knew she would be into it, but it surprised me at how Steven really was concentrating so hard on trying to get each candy in the right place. He didn't even try to eat any of the candy until the house was done. I'm not sure that our house is exactly a masterpiece, but we had fun making it so that is the important thing. And it turned out better than expected considering that a four year old and a two year old were the main contributers for putting all the candy on (although Dad did put the pieces of the house together and Mom did all the frosting).

That looks great! That's funny that Steven was too busy decorating to eat any of the candy. I think would have had the candy eaten before it could get put on the house.
