For weeks all I have been hearing about are gingerbread houses and pumpkin pie. My mom made a pumpkin pie for Christmas and fortunately, I haven't heard much about pumpkin pie since!
In the weeks since Christmas he has still talked non-stop about making a gingerbread house. I had bought one a few weeks ago at Trader Joe's, but I had been saving it for . . . I wasn't sure what and finally last week I knew. When I announced that we would be taking the tree down tomorrow my statement was met with lots of tears. Ryan definitely did not want that to happen, so the next day I pulled out the gingerbread house out as a consolation prize. He was thrilled!
Here is the box. Ryan had a hard lesson in advertising when he realized that everything pictured on the box was not inside. His disappointment didn't last long!
We used pre-mixed frosting left over from decorating cookies, rather than the stuff you had to make that came with the kit. Best idea ever.
Decorating the roof
Finished!
