This year's gingerbread house was a success. Not only did it not collapse on us but the little ones did an awesome job decorating!
The directions instructed you to wait 3-4 hours after assembling before decorating. That may have been our crucial mistake last year. I guess sometimes it does pay to read the instructions! Although it was a buzzkill on Tuesday afternoon, luckily, the kiddos were patient enough to wait until after school and lunch yesterday to decorate.
My job was chief frosting put-er on-er. The kids were chief decorators. They shared the candy both in decorating and in eating.

"Look at me and say 'Gingerbread house!'" All around success and two happy kiddos.
And...an Elf named Skippy who thought he might help himself to it today. Oh, Skippy.
14 days to Christmas!
