We tried making a gingerbread house from scratch this year and it turned out to be a bit of a bigger undertaking than I remember it being from when I made them as a child, but the kids loved it. We ran out of icing and ingredients to make more (I think I used too much trying to get it to stand up and stay!), so we didn't get to decorate it as much as the kids would have liked, but they were happy with it.
While we were making the cookie dough, Carson went downstairs to the garage to get a piece of cardboard for our base, and he decided to see what it would look like if he dumped a huge box of packaging peanuts all over floor of the garage! yikes....he didn't tell me about it when he came back upstairs, so imagine my surprise when I went down to get something else and saw this! He was a good sport about cleaning it up, although I admit, I was not happy to see this mess since the whole upstairs was chaos from our gingerbread making. Owell, it all cleaned up just fine.
Some snowflakes we made

Oh My Gosh! The popcorn, sorry Michelle, is hilarious! The pictures of the kids at Christmas are so cute and yes, Gingerbread houses take much more frosting then you realize just to make them stay together. Way to cute!
What fun! I love Livi's look of concentration as she places a piece of candy. Can't wait to talk to you!
XOXOX
Happy New Year Michelle! You have some cute kids! I have never met either of them and feel like I know them... kinda funny! I hope you guys had a great Christmas together.
