Gingerbread Building

The boys and I built a gingerbread house yesterday afternoon. Given how I've been feeling I decided to go easy on myself and buy one of those pre-made kits. Well! What have I been thinking doing one from scratch every year??? We spent more time just enjoying the decorating of our store made gingerbread and I wasn't stressed about the icing being thick enough, or having it look perfect because I already spent three hours mixing and rolling and baking. I'm definitely going to use this time saver again! The boys really did have a fun time and are proud of their creation.
