We decided that a new tradition was called for this year... Ginger bread house building!
In theory it was the perfect activity to do with the kids.
I found a kit, and we followed the directions and got everything ready to build, I had visions of the boys making adorable little windows, and a candy cane lane (anytime I have a vision of how something should go, it always does the opposite!)
Miles was so dang mad he was strapped down. I finally gave him a taste of the frosting, he was such a good little boy after.
Mason liked the frosting so much he decided to be a bit more creative with it...
He's a dead ringer for santa!
He got pretty serious, and decide to decorate the candy with frosting before he put it on the house...
Our master piece was so top heavy it needed to be braced with boxes of mac and cheese.
Unfortunately, even the macaroni couldn't save our future vacation home...
We've decided next year we're going big... rice crispy bricks big!
On a happy note, the next morning I came downstairs to find the boys had dug the house out of the trash and were eating it (thank goodness I had had Micah take out the trash the night before, so there weren't and potato peels hanging off it)
