Under Construction

Tonight we decided to do our annual Gingerbread House for Christmas. I started out by putting the walls together with frosting and then attached the roof. We waited about 10 minutes and it stayed together. So hey, we thought it was ready for decorating.
We all got the icing, and started to frost the roof for the snow.

After the snow was all set, J and Ry started to decorate the roof with "lights." And then it was no more. The whole house just fell. I tried to re-set it, and try again. To no avail, it just didn't work. It was a HOTT MESS!!! So the kids decided to eat the candy and in their words, "Well, we can't waste it!"

I think Kodes just liked sucking on the crinkly wrapper. I guess we'll try again next year and maybe let it set overnight. At least, we can look back and laugh. And the kiddos still had fun while it lasted!
