Gingerbread Houses

Today we attempted to get in the Christmas spirit by making gingerbread houses.  Sugar went to Target and bought the kits for all the kids.  They looked easy enough.  Simply glop the frosting all over the house and decorate right?  Wrong.  They were extremely fragile and wouldn't stay together.  Both Brody and Case opened their kit to find both roof pieces broken.  Sugar and I did our best to make them work, but no luck!  Luckily she had purchased 3 kits where the house was already put together and all you had to do was add the candy decorations.  They ended up turning out great, but not before lots of tears and sad faces. 
Poor Brody.  His roof just wouldn't stay on his house!

After 2 tries, Brody's gingerbread house turned out darling!


Case had more fun eating the candy for the houses!

Ledger was thrilled to make a gingerbread house and eat all the candy that went on it!

Sarah and Anna did a great job on their Gingerbread House.

Aunt Michel and Aiden were having a little too much fun!

Sugar tried so hard to make Cases broken gingerbread house work. 

Brody and I worked hard to make his broken gingerbread house work, but we failed terribly!!
