The Building of the Gingerbread House

About a week before Christmas, we had family fun night at the Moore house! It started with homemade pizza and then we built a gingerbread house. Sadie was so excited to do this (note her face in the picture below). We had a blast, but in the end it looked like what I imagine a "Charlie Brown Gingerbread House" would look like if he ever built one. Enjoy the pics.

Ready to get started!!

"Whoa, the roof is going on!!"


Carefully placing the star candies on the roof.



Now for the gumdrop lined roof.



Braden couldn't help us build the house because he was too little this year, but surprisingly enough, he was able to eat the gingerbread - no milk or eggs in it!!! Here he is deciding on his plan of attack...




I wasn't surprised by his choice - head first!!




"Ta da!!" Finished product!














These gumdrops slowly disappeared in the days after the house was built. Not sure who could have eaten them ;)




Our humble abode!!
