We haven't posted anything for two whole years!!! Today, we finally decided to use our gingerbread house-making kit for Family Home Evening. The house was supposed to represent building our strong family. I hope that the house wasn't a bad omen, because just half an hour after the picture, the house completely caved in. The frosting was about as sticky as dried glue. Maybe this is a sign that we need to work on some things... hmmm...
Anyway, it was fun to make the house while it lasted. The kids plastered the gingerbread with 'fat free' gumdrops (so they wouldn't eat them. It didn't work too well) and good-and-plenty's, and you could definitely tell it was our own. The picture wasn't our best, but it showed the real us. Caroline was ready to eat it, but I really don't think those brittle things were ever meant to be eaten.
Happy New Year's!
