Amy and I got to work. Lee was the photographer and 'Will watcher.' Will was the candy beggar. Here are a few of our photos (Lee took a TON!)
Amy felt the need to cover the house with frosting. Only this frosting was really gross- in taste and texture. It was so thick, like worse than toothpaste, despite me warming it in the microwave. Amy also wanted the house "covered in candy."
So here's our first attempt at a gingerbread house! (Next year I think I'll spend a few more bucks on a better kit) Oh, and Karen- you'd better gear up- she can't wait to eat it with you! I told her we could eat it on Christmas Eve.

i will eat the sides and amy can have the roof and i never knew that a $4.00 devil's horn and tail could make one little girl so happy o boy i cant wait karen
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I remember the years I made many houses with my neighbor and we sold them. What a job. We didn't have as much help with the decorating ideas as you had though. Love always.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Lynn, remember when we turned out a million of them and Steve sold them at work. We earned our Christmas money that way. I sure had my fill of that. I think we figured it cost about 6 bucks to make and we sold them for $20. They went like hotcakes.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Karen on the joy Amy has had with the horns and tail. It is amazing what will entertain a child. What fond memories.
ReplyDeleteI love the excitement the house making stirred up with the kids. I love the pictures too. I can't say I would want to eat the house though it will surely be a sweet overload. Have a great time all being together. Much love to you all, Gram. Be sure to take lots of pictures at Christmas. Lots of love.
