We decorated our gingerbread house for family home evening last week. We did a kit again this year.
The kit came with a piece of cardboard to put it on instead of the handy plastic tray with grooves, and the icing didn't seem as stiff as usual.
Then we put it up on the mantle. Doesn't it look pretty? But then about 5 minutes later we heard a loud crash!
Oops. I guess we should have held it together for a little longer. Or used a tray with grooves and stiffer icing.
So they started eating it.
Tyler got to make this cute graham cracker house in school last week. The kids ate it up pretty quick.
Then last night we went caroling and dropped off plates of cookies (that I made all day Saturday) to neighbors and families we home/visit teach. At our last stop they were having a huge family gathering and invited us in to make gingerbread houses and do crafts with them. We'll see if these ones will last 'till Christmas.
