Last year, our gingerbread house collapsed before we even finished decorating it. Whether it was too much frosting or faulty construction on our part, needless to say, it was a little disappointing...
This year, however, we gave extra time and attention to assure that our structure was strong--after the initial assembly we waited 8 hours before decorating it, to make sure the binding was dry. This time period was excruciating to Franny, who had already been waiting and waiting to construct our house since we brought it home weeks ago. But, it was worth the wait, as Franny had a great time decorating, experimenting with applying frosting, and eating all the bits and pieces. Of course, now the question is When do we eat it? For Franny, having a cookie house covered with candy that is only to look at is almost too much to bear. Hopefully, once we start our holiday baking, her torture will be eased.
And what did Cole think? Well, eating the frosting was probably the high point...

I recognize that gingerbread house! It's a good one. :) We're also anxiously waiting to break it apart and devour it. Glad to hear it was more enjoyable and went much more smoothly this year!
