Gingerbread House

This year, for the first time, we decided to decorate a gingerbread house for FHE. It was a yearly tradition in Teag's family, and the girls seem old enough to be able to really participate. Teag's mom used to bake her own gingerbread, but since I don't even like gingerbread, we opted for the pre-made kit :)

Notice the already-fabricated house? That's what I'm talking about! The girls had a really fun time decorating it, deciding exactly where each type of candy should go.

We probably should have bought two kits, because it drove me crazy when too much of one color was lumped together or something. My aesthetic eye couldn't handle it! Teag had to reign me in, and remind me this was for the kids :)

But when all was said and done, the girls were quite proud of the finished product, and we had a great time in the process.

Isn't it pretty?

And to wish you all Happy Holidays, here's a word from Little Miss Merry Christmas.
