Gingerbread House

Filed Under: Family

After we got home from seeing Santa. We tried to make a gingerbread house with Kennys mom. Well it was bent when it came out of the box.  She tried to bend it back, I knew that wasn’t going to work. She broke it.

Here it is jerry rigged.

and here is where it collapsed.

    Sorry about the house... I'm sure the kids still had fun decorating somehow. :)

    We decided not to do the house this year, but got them smaller gingerbread trees to decorate. This way, they could actually eat it after they're done.
