House Building Fun

       So I have to say that the kids and I are never, Never, NEVER going to build our own dream home. Yesterday, December 19, 2013, we made our first gingerbread house. It was lots of fun but we are definitely not experts. First we had the thought of making two houses. Our house and then Grandma Watkins house. So we got our house up and then mommy realized that it was harder than she thought and told them we would just stick with one house. The trees where the most fun and successful to make. Even Addison was able to put green frosting on the tree and decorate it with crunch berry ornaments. As you can see from the picture, though, one tree is not decorated with crunch berries. Somebody had fun pulling them off and eating them. The trees are just ice-cream cones upside down with marshmallow stars and crunch berry ornaments. We didn't know how to make a door or windows for the house so there aren't any. Then we put regular marshmallows on the roof for snow. That's big snow and Santa on the roof. Then we got life savers and frosted them to make them look like snowman with candy cane arms and a hat. It might not be our dream house, like I said and we are definitely not expert builders but we sure had a lot of fun.
