Gingerbread Houses

We had decided to have a competition with gingerbread houses.... girls versus boys, who could make the better house.

Josh and Donovan, putting the walls up...

Audri working the icing bag...

As we started decorating...

...something awful happened. Neither of our houses would stay upright! The walls kept caving in on the "girls" house, and the roof kept slipping off the "boys" house.
We admitted defeat, and decided to just eat the gingerbread instead!

Donovan enjoying the roof of his house...

Audri eating the wall of her house.
It was a great idea, but our execution left a little to be desired. We had fun, though, and are continuing to enjoy our project! :)

  1. Fun! We talked about making gingerbread houses too, but didn't get around to it; maybe we'll make that our New Year's Eve activity. I like girls vs boys competitions, it adds a different kind of fun element. The kids are looking really big, I like Donovan's longer hair, cute kid:)
