The short lived ginger bread house

This is the picture that sucked me in.

All the pieces were in place.

Every one was ready to start.

Nate was ready for construction.


Construction began

It was coming together nicely..

We added the decorations, though it looked nothing like the box.

Then the foundations shook, and the roof started to slip.

There was no stopping the collapse

So we decided to eat it,

and lick all the icing off.

The poor gingerbread house.  It didn't turn out quite like I expected.

Homemade royal icing holds the gingerbread together much better.

I like the way your turned out better because when it's standing there looking like a house, you just hate to eat it!
