Gingerbread House

A few weeks ago we spent Sunday afternoon at Nonna and Poppa's helping Audrey and Parker make gingerbread houses. The whole procedure was intended to be a fun experience for the two of them, but quickly turned into a project for most of the rest of us (me, Uncle Clarke and Uncle Bugs in particular). It was only my second experience with gingerbread houses, and I don't think most of us realized how delicate the actual house-building process is. Once we got the houses up, we did let the girls do a little decorating. Audrey was especially proud of her house, and even though we all put so much work into it, she wasn't particularly attached. As a matter of fact, right now the house is only a shell of what it once was...but it looked pretty good at one point.
