I love your gingerbread house. Decorating gingerbread with children is so hard to do for a perfectionist. Congrats on letting your children have fun with it.
It looks absolutely perfect to me!
So cute! I, too, hate messes like these would bring…so, we have not done a gingerbread house with the kids yet. I was thinking maybe next year…but after seeing of it from that perspective, maybe we should…we’ll see!
I love it! That’s how ours turn out too - all one kind of candy on one side. This year I got a kit that has 5 mini houses so that everyone can have their own house to decorate. No fighting which is what usually happens here. Your kids are working so nicely together.
The house turned out beautifully! I love the picture of Jayce’s sweet pudgy, little boy fingers!
Too cute! What great family memories!
Love the pictures…brings back memories of my own children and the fun “cookie parties”
we used to have at christmas….very messy but so much fun. Your children are very neat.
That’s so pretty! Mine were always ghetto because I’d eat most of the candy.
I LOVE it! That is absolutely perfect. It makes me smile to look at it. :)
And good for you, setting aside your idiosyncracies for the good of the children. :)
Those are great! We usually do those every year, and it does take all I have in me not to micromanage the event. :-)
Cute, cute, cute! My son walked by and said “Oh! That looks good!”. We did a house and sleigh this year. This is one time where I always set my Type A tendencies aside and do with the kids. We love doing them every year! The kids are still loving seeing it sitting on the table.
I love this! Great Job! I make gingerbread houses every year with my students. Using a milk carton as the base, canned frosting as the glue and graham cracker instead of ginger bread. Then the kids bring in their own candy to decorate.
So cute! And so funny that you posted this, since that is what we did last night as well. I agree with pp, it is very hard not to micromanage. I stayed out of it rather well this year I think, which is really saying something when your oldest child is 5. And to give them credit, the mess really wasn’t too bad.
i love gingerbread house kits…they are the best!!! They did a great job though!
Oh and the hair in the dinner post…HILARIOUS!
You put type A aside? Didn’t know that was possible. But I find it most impressive. I’m not good at it. Your kids look like they’re having an exceptionally lovely time. (Are you wringing your hands in the background?)
How cute!!! We are making our this evening.. =)
I nominated you for an award. Hit my blog to pick it up!!!!
Love, Juile
Wow- yours looks SO MUCH better than ours! LOL!
