Of course it's not going to win any awards, but we had quite a bit of fun making our gingerbread house. Thank goodness for the advances in gingerbread house creating! The house is already baked and just has to be placed in pre-cut slots on the plastic base. The candy is already bagged in small individual bags and the frosting already prepared in a frosting bag. Some may scoff, that's cheating! That's not really making a gingerbread house! To those people I say, there is no way I would ever attempt to actually make a gingerbread house from scratch. Not even when my children are older- it's just not worth the tremendous amount of time required. Now this instant gingerbread-house-in-a-box is just my speed! As long as available for purchase, I can see this becoming a tradition- mostly at Eli's insistence.
Yep, it's gingerbread-house-in-a-box or nothing around here!
Asher entertained himself for quite some time banging his head with the empty box.
