Gingerbread House






Well,Harry saw a gingerbread house in Reasor's the other day. He loves building "Big House" out of legos with Grandma. So we decided to buy the gingebread House Kit. i have never done this, I thought it would be a great family night activity.

It was Sunday night and we needed some family time. Harry was very excited to build his "BIG House"! Butch read the directions as I reviewed all the pieces and knead the frosting packet, harry was testing the candy. Butch started putting the walls of the house together with harry's help of course! Using the frosting Harry began to stick the candies onto the walls of the house as Butch added the roof. My job was to make sure Harry only ate one piece of candy at a time...it was a tough job! He decorated the walls, roof, chimney, and then we did the gingerbread boy, snowman, and the christmas tree. We had so much fun!

Harry's favorite part of the entire evening was when he went potty it was GREEN! I am hoping that was due to the candy he ate and not anything else.

I think this will be a family tradition the gingerbread house...not the potty!
