Whew that was a lot of work

Mark and I started building a Ginger Bread House a week ago. Lots of work I tell ya!! We started with a card board box and then added the graham crackers and candy. If the candy wasn't on the house...it was in our mouths...ha ha ha.

I finished up the house last night...adding a few finishing touches like the funny looking snowman and the patches of snow around the house.

Gum drops, lifesavers, red hots, jelly beans, candy canes, m&ms,...hmmmm yum!

Royal Icing...helped the candy stay on the house!!!

Now I wonder how long the candy will last on the house.....????

This is one of the Christmas projects Mark and I accomplished. We had a lot of fun and we think this will become a Christmas tradition in our family.

Oh by the way...Bubble and Shanaynay enjoyed the candy that fell on the ground....Their favorite is...MARSHMELLOWS!!!! Go figure.

Whenever I open a bag of marshmellows....especially Bubble....its like she knows what I've got and comes running to get one that "accidently drops on the ground"....shhhhh

Merry Christmas to Everyone!!!
