Gingerbread house 2009

We had fun today making this house! We will be eating it later! I think we did a bit better this year than we did last! we also didn't get stuck up with melted sugar this time because we used a tube of icing!! Much better idea!

Gingerbread House!

Why do I do these things? We bought this

gingerbread house kit from Ikea (I've tried to do this before and had a real disaster) So Adda my son nagged me to help make it ! This attempt is very good I can tell you! At least it is staying in one piece I stuck it together then we had a fight to get icing to the right consistancy thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Anyway I did the snowy roof and Adda did the windows and decorations.

Strangly enough it looks nothing like the photo on the box




While we were playing Dominic cleaned the school shoes!
