The making of a gingerbread house

I was so proud of Brayden, he did all of the candy decorations!
Here's our crazy bunch!
The finished product. Brayden keeps asking when we are going to eat it:)

Yesterday we got together with our HFG buddies and decorated gingerbread houses. It was pure chaos, but a lot of fun. The kids loved it, and they did such a good job! We bought a gingerbread house set from Costco, which I highly recommend if you aren't into making your own gingerbread. It came with the house, 5 trees to decorate, 2 different colors of frosting, a piping bag and tip, and a lot of candy. Not bad for $9.99. Thanks to Tiffany for hosting this crazy event. My only regret is that daddy wasn't here to help us. Maybe next year...

What fun! We used the Costco gingerbread house last year for the first time too and I was really impressed with the quality and ALL the candy. Great price, too! The best part was that it still tasted good, not stale, by the time we let the kids eat it. Cute pics!
