Gingerbread houses

January 2007, we visited Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Duke and Grandma Mickey in FL. Aunt Stephanie invited the kids to decorate a gingerbread house with Grandma. It was a new experience for all of us and they loved it. The boys especially enjoyed eating it all too.                                     Here is the 2007 version. This year while shopping at Aldi's, K saw a gingerbread house kit and begged me to buy it. He did not know that I planned on buying one this year. We waited patiently until J came home from college to do it all together again. This year I had more candy supplies left over from my Cookie Exchange Party (more on that another posting).                             Here is K's roof top                              B is the artistic one- one of the sides.                        B made one of the front sides to resemble a barn. B and J assembled the completed sides one day when I was out shopping. It was temporarily put on a side table in the Dining Room. I have not taken photos of the completed house with all 3 kids. When I emptied the SD card from camera to computer, to my surprise, I found this photo! K is playing Star Wars, a frozen Lego man to  Hans Solo when he was frozen by Jaba the Hut. all around the gingerbread house. His imagination is distracted by Star Wars all the time lately. Thought you might enjoy our re-enacting and decorating house.
