Gingerbread House

by Madison

A few days before Nana and Pop came for a visit, Mommy and I built a gingerbread house. Buying it from Jo-Ann Fabric, we assumed the "easy to assemble" was true. It wasn't. It was very difficult to put together, but we did our best.

One of the worst things about our gingerbread house was that you had to let it sit for three hours before you could decorate it. Explain that to a three-year-old.

We had more candy, but two little people ate most of it.

Then, Aunt Jennifer brought me another gingerbread house kit. She bought hers at Wal-Mart. It was MUCH easier to assemble, and we had a lot of fun with it. Mommy knows she's artistically challenged, but the kit was really different. We learned in the future to buy our gingerbread kit from Wal-Mart. It makes a HUGE difference.

Here we are all ready to begin our craft project.

We both agreed the frosting tasted better in our mouths than on the house.

Luke had to jump in on the action.

He "helped" with the candy.

At one point, Aunt Jennifer called out, "I can't handle two of them!" Now she knows how Mommy feels all the time!

All done. Mommy and Daddy can't get me to stop this fake smile.
