Gingerbread House Time
Posted By pamelamyers on December 9, 2018
Last night we finished Sam’s gingerbread house! This is the first year we got adventurous and baked it ourselves. It turned out to be easier than I thought. We assembled it one night and then decorated it another. The cookie cutters I have are bigger than I remember, so the house was way bigger than the ones I generally buy. We had a hard time getting the roof to not make the house collapse, but Mark helped with some creative engineering, and it worked!
Once it was time to decorate, we all chipped in (as much as Sam would let us). She likes to do it herself most of the time.
She could decorate a house for hours with all the detail she puts into it.
I love this little gingerbread girl. What is KC you might ask? Oh, it’s her Kohl’s cash! Sam knows Mommy likes Kohl’s!
Go, Speed Racer Go!
This is her sledding hill, complete with gingerbread people on saucers.
Mark made this really cool merry-go-round, one of the few details we were allowed to add.
We had so many decorations because I am always buying them that Sam didn’t know what the heck to do with them all! Oh well, there is always next year.
Here are some pics of the various sides. I think she did an amazing job. (Don’t mind the huge crack in the roof…oops!)
Penny and Zach could not figure out what the heck we were doing, so, cats being cats, they had to investigate!
