Our first attempt at a Gingerbread house!


I bought a gingerbread house kit at Target a few days before Christmas because I thought Ansley would enjoy putting it together.  As we started, Troy and I both discovered that neither he nor I had ever built a gingerbread house either.  

 Side note: she has this weird attachment to a Jimi Hendrix shirt my dad and Shari gave her for her birthday, she would sleep in it every night if we would let her (and most nights we do, we'll even put it on over her one piece, footie pajamas).  In the last few weeks she has also developed a similar attachment to this vest.  This would be why she is wearing both, first thing in the morning.

 We discovered a few minutes in that we should have constructed the house the night before so it had ample time to dry.  Since we had not done this, it didn't take long before the walls and roof were all sliding apart...

 Oopsie!

Maybe next year we'll be better gingerbread contractors!
