Gingerbread Disasters

I have to put a disclaimer on this post that this was the first time that any of us had made gingerbread houses (except Amber). With that said this was a disaster!!!!! I had called Jon's mom and gotten all the details and receipes for the frosting and all that. She told me to make rice krispy treats to use as the "frame" of the house. YEAH RIGHT!!! Dispite the fact that our houses looked like a huge pile of dung we had a good time. We had some of friends Brent and Amber over to have dinner and then do our houses. We had tons of fun, and there was certainly a lot of laughter, mostly at how awful our houses looked. Next year I am totally buying one of those pre-packaged gingerbread house kits. NO more fancy pants Annie, lets just face it, I am not a master when it comes to the kitchen!

Shelby loved eating the graham crackers and all the candy that she picked out at the store.Carter, Amber, Shelby, and me trying to get our creation to work...not happening!

Such concentration! (Carter & Amber)

Jon tried to pitch in and help, this is Shelby laughing hysterically because our house is caving it at that very moment.Brent & Ambers finished house... Yep you guessed it they just gave up with the graham crackers.

At least the Candy was Yummy (Brent & Carter)

This is my finished house. We even bought the cutest candy ever that looked like little rocks so we could make it look like our real house. There is some resemblance right???
