Gingerbread House Fun

We put our gingerbread house together for FHE last night. It was a lot of fun, but a bit chaotic. I guess that is to be expected. We've had a family tradition that the baby in the family always had a footprint in the icing somewhere, but this year I was just glad that Rebecca stayed asleep so I could do the house. I wasn't about to wake her up.
Putting it together



The Gingerbread House StoriesSarah was in charge of the Dora people. One of Swipper the Fox's famous lines is, "Oh, Man!" when he is unable to "swipe" something, so Sarah said, "Swipper fell on the ice and said, 'Oh, Man!'"

Jacob's M&M guys were playing follow the leader.

Elizabeth's plane ran into the tree.

I had the reindeer moving the clubhouse.

Unfortunately, Jacob got the only pictures of Scott, and the angle just isn't very flattering.

I think we will use a bigger board next year. It was pretty crowded.

Looks like lots of work and fun. We were justing deciding today when the kids would get to make a gingerbread house! Seeing your pictures made them even more excited, of-course, our houses are way simple compared to yours!
