Gingerbread Cabin

Every year my kids think decorating gingerbread houses is all for them but it’s just a cover. I love it way more than they do. I really like to get into it. I give my kids a hard time because they usually just squirt all their frosting on the roof and pile as many gummy bears and candy on top as they can. This year I kept telling them they needed to take it seriously and actually try to decorate it. 

I decided to make a little cabin. 

Lynnlee made the little shed/dog house next to it.

James really wanted to pile on the frosting but then held back. He put some thought into it and made a nicely decorated house.

Lynnlee made a gummy bear cha cha line on the roof and then decorated the rest of her house more normal.

Kade, Tag, ans Sienna did their own designs. They don’t get into it as much yet. They just want to eat the frosting and candy.

I didn’t take pictures of the finished houses right after. Before bedtime I decided we should take pictures before anyone stared snacking on them. Taggart was moving his house with one hand from one counter to another and accidentally dropped it. The whole thing broke into pieces before we could take the picture. Thankfully we had a bag of frosting still so I glued it back together for the picture.
