Gingerbread Houses

We love making gingerbread houses at our house.  As the first picture points out, Declan does too.  I often have to remind him to decorate, not eat.  They have a blast figuring out what to put on.  This year, one of our houses was plastic and snap together.  This goes against conventional gingerbread house wisdom but wow, that was easy!  We will be buying another one next year.  No, holding the house together, waiting for the sides to stick, falling over while decorating.  And we can use it for all holidays and we buy all of our own candy (Rich thought that was great and bought way too much candy!).  Terefech had made a gingerbread house at school this day...unfortunately we have no pictures.  While the kids were at yoga and Rich was upstairs, our dog decided to have a holiday snack.  Tears flowed for awhile and then we regaled Terefech with all of the dog eating things stories we could think of.  As we giggled through dinner, she realized it happens to all of us (apparantly cause she ate parts of Christmas presents last night!).
