Homeless Gingerbread

Sunday we finally put together our gingerbread house. I have been waiting to do this since November. It was supposed to be Hal and I helping Kennedy make it. But for some reason Hal just took over, and went to town. I had to fight him to try to help. Kennedy did put a few pieces of candy on, but of course just wanted to eat them. But looking at it you would think Kennedy made it all by herself with no help. It was horribly decorated and poorly constructed. But neither of us have done this since grade school, so well cut us some slack. I have to say it was really fun making it and it will definitely be added to the Christmas traditions.

It started out with so much promise

Hal hogging all the icing

If we say to Kennedy "show us your happy face" she will actually smile for the camera now. It's a Christmas miracle

It was all down hill from here, within minutes the roof collapsed. Leaving our gingerbread family homeless.

We were even sadder since it was a pre made set, and was not edible. How yummy would that have been
