Making a gingerbread house

I thought it would be lots of fun for us to make a gingerbread house this year to have as a holiday center piece. I thought about making the gingerbread myself and then decorating it but then I came to my senses. I went to Costco and bought a kit. The only problem was that I turned into psycho perfection mom while making it. Alec of course wanted to help make the house but he was not doing it the way I wanted so I was getting stressed out. I know, sad.

The gingerbread house turned out really nice but I think next year I will buy one for me to do and one for Alec to do so that he can actually do what he wants to it.

Here is Alec doing his part...tasting the icing. That icing had SO much sugar in it, I can't imagine it must have tasted very good! He did not seem to mind.

Aunt Allie came over and helped us make the house. We love her SO much!!

Aaron was looking adorable as always that night. I had to get a picture of him in his bear PJ's. SO cute!!
