A few things:
:: Upon completion of this year's masterpiece, Young One said, "I think mine is exaggerated, Mom." I assured her that it was perfect, simply perfect. Well, okay, maybe it isn't simple...but it sure is perfect ;)
:: This year I decorated a house alongside her. By the end of the day, she told me that I needed to just stop using so many bad words.
:: She LOVES this annual holiday season project.
:: It's a fabulous use of candy from previous seasons; there are lots of jelly beans from Easter and many Halloween candies on this year's house. I hide those candies after a couple weeks of the holiday, and she never misses them.
:: Though she loves this project, the icing is still too frustrating for her (evidently for me, too), so I just cover the entire pre-built structure in icing and let her complete the rest.
:: It's not as random as it appears. The symmetry of the roof, the licorice bench, the chocolate door...these were all very deliberately choosen.
:: I let her drive the entire time. This year she took it to full speed.

ReplyDeletemy boys tell me the same (to stop using so many bad words) when I'm driving.
enjoyed seeing this year's house! yours looks wonderful. ;) that icing is definitely a bear-my language would probably be the same. we'll probably end up doing gingerbread houses again too. *sigh* maybe this is the year it won't end in tantrums (please, please, please)????
ReplyDeleteI like the how you incorporated the other holidays into the creation of your gingerbread house. It is perfect!
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job! It's so colorful and pretty; you've *almost* inspired me to try one!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I wanna be a kid!!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! And so completely adorned like only a child could do. Love the Hershey's (? where did you get Hershey's?)door and candy corn roof line. We've been invited to our neighbors for a gingerbread house decorating afternoon. I'm quite looking forward to it. It is such a treat to be a guest!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so so delicious!
