Gingerbread House

I decided this year that Haley was old enough to make a Gingerbread House with me. Thankfully they sale these wonderful kits, so you don't actually have to bake anything! I picked one up at Sam's before Thanksgiving and decided, while Eli was napping yeterday, to break it out.

We got it all set up first and then had to let it dry (the kit provided everything, even the icing!). While letting dry, we watched Muppet Christmas Carol. Then, about an hour later, we started decorating. Haley had lots of fun. She's very particular about where each decoration goes and so am I, so it was interesting. In the end, it turned out great, we finished just in time (Eli woke up right at the end) and she had fun. Where was Blake you ask? Well, on the table, in his bouncy seat, asleep! ;)

Here's the beginning!



The finished product! Just ignore the crack in the front!



Haley was so excited, can't you tell?

Blake was exhausted from all the excitment!



It's final place in the house!
