My Mom was kind enough to buy Sarah Grace a gingerbread kit this year. Monday night Eric and I thought it would be a great idea to do it for FHE. I prepared the icing while Eric was supposed to be reading the instructions. Sarah Grace could hardly wait to get started and had most of the candy opened before we were ready. To be honest I've never made one either so I was just as excited. Unfortunately though we really had no idea what we were doing and Eric didn't bother with the directions. There was a little fussing between the two of us and it reminded me of early Christmases when my parents would argue over the tree. Good times. I laugh just thinking about it. So although we didn't follow the instructions, our house turned out perfect. We had fun spending time together and eating the icing. I told Eric that night, that we'd probably never do one again. But I've really enjoyed looking at Sarah Grace's creation all week and I'm thinking that it may be on the holiday "do" list from here on out!

I got us a kit and we are going to do it for FHE tomorrow. I have never done one before, but I hope we have as much fun as it looks like you guys did!
I've always wanted to try one of those, they look fun. What a fun holiday idea. It really is perfect. I think I'd want to eat all the candy before it got on the house too.
we did one last year. ours isnt as perfect as yours is! i love it. i think they are fun, but i think until miss a is bigger, we'll probably wait on them. fun though. plus, i love candy! last year we got a wonka candy one, so it had all the best kinds. :)
Those windows make it loot like it's a face. Eric was having way too much fun with the frosting - and even Artie got in on the act. If SG had fun it was totally worth the mess and work.
Good Times!!!
