Ginger Bread Houses

A first for our family.  I decided to pick up Gingerbread house kits for the three older boys this year to make.   It seemed like it would be a fun family activity.   This proved to be more difficult than I expected.  The icing did not set up a quickly as we thought so our houses kept falling apart.   We finally moved this outside even though it was cold.  We hoped the cold would help the icing harden, which it did a bit.   The boys did get them decorated.   We were still having trouble with the roof's staying on so once I got some pictures we let them start eating the houses.   After making this Joshua requested that we make Gingerbread boys ( and other shapes) for Santa's cookies.   It still was a fun activity with lots of laughing but I am not sure we will be doing this again.
