Adventures in Gingerbread-house-making

Last weekend Aunt Mary, Reese and I went Christmas shopping. At the last store we stopped at we decided to buy a gingerbread house kit because neither of us had ever made a gingerbread house before. How hard could it be?

We had a fancy kit and all we had to do was put the house together and make it look like the picuture...

Aunt Mary putting on the frosting. As you can see it was already getting messy... and it only got worse...

Reese next to her first gingerbread house. Poor thing, her Mom and Aunt are clearly incompetent gingerbread house makers.



About 2 minutes after taking Reese's picture above, this is what happened. Mary and I decided that we will never attempt this again ;)
