Gingerbread House Fun

January 19th, 2008

This past month is the first year at Christmas time that my daughter has mentioned wanting to decorate/build a gingerbread house.  I picked one up at Walmart for $10.  I paid that much because it came ALREADY ASSEMBLED.  I cannot stress enough the importance of that!  Sure, the one you had to put together yourself was $5 less, but it was worth it to pay the extra $5 if I didn’t have to build the darn thing.  Unfortunately, the (Wilton) people who DID assemble this house weren’t all that great at it!  I don’t know if you can tell in the photo, but it’s crooked!  One side of the roof hangs down over the house, and the other side does not.  But whatever, right?  My daughter didn’t care and we worked with what we had. 

But here’s my real reason for writing.  I have one of those creative type 7-year-olds.  She calls herself an “artiste.”  And she is.  She loves all things related to art, loves to create all types of art, etc.  I even gave her a little room all her own at our house for her “art room.”  Anyway, she’s the only child I know who would use goldfish crackers for her “icicles” hanging off the roof.  I love it!  This kid cracks me up.
