Every year I would contemplate making a gingerbread house. They always looked so nice and very festive for the Christmas season. This year I decided to go for it and get David involved. During the winter, projects are a very welcome thing as they entertain him while we are stuck inside for so long. So, I bought the kit and was very eager to get going! David was all excited, he loves to help Mommy, especially if there is candy involved. You are looking at our wonderful work of art above. If I do say so myself, it came out pretty nice! So here is the first Saulnier gingerbread house..... and maybe the last! The reality is, David lost interest 5 minutes in. He didn't like any of the candy because it wasn't chocolate.... and it was a huge pain to make! That icing should come with a warning label, my wrist is still hurting a day later.... I digress, all in all in was something I have wanted to do for quite some time and if you ask David, he helped Mommy make the whole thing and he will tell you, "isn't it beautiful!" So it was definitely worth it and we will be doing one again next year!
