Gingerbread Houses

A couple of days before Christmas, we  made our annual gingerbread houses.

And so it begins

This year, we decided to have a competition to see who could make the best gingerbread house, the boys or the girls.

Having Fun

The competition was fierce, until my husband made the boys' window look like a face.

Working Diligently

We decided that two competition categories were needed, the best gingerbread house and the funniest gingerbread house.

Working Hard

Elizabeth decided that the frosting was finger-licking good.

Concentration

She also decided that eating the candy was more fun than decorating the house.

Final Touches

Everyone was happy with the final results. However, the gingerbread houses could only be admired for a day. In the morning, we found that our sweet-toothed daughter thought that the houses made a great snack.
