We never got around to making a house last year, but Adam still remembered how fun it was the year before (remember this) so was super excited when I told him we were going to do one this year. The kit I got was from Target and so much easier to use than the one from before. I know it's not very "Martha" of me to use a kit - but I'll give myself a pass on this one. :)
The house turned out great and Adam and I had fun doing it. As a surprise the morning after we finished decorating it, Adam's elf Al built a snowman in the front yard! Adam thought that was just too cool - pun intended.
A fun holiday tradition, even if it doesn't happen every year. :)
We have had so much fun with Adam in the kitchen this past year. He loves helping out and I love that we're starting him young, boosting his cooking confidence and hopefully grooming a very good chef all at the same time!
I knew he was definitely ready to tackle decorating a gingerbread house and he did not disappoint. He was so precise with his candy placement and only snuck a bite or two!
The house didn't turn out nearly as beautiful as the picture on the box, but I'm going to blame the funky icing they provided. :) Maybe next year we'll do it from scratch with our own icing, but the $5.00 sub-par kit still managed to provide two evenings of holiday family fun, I'll call that a success!
