Before Christmas, my friend Margie from down the street invited us to make a Gingerbread House with her and her daughter Julia. The kids had a blast decorating and constructing to their heart's content. Granted, a few gumdrops and lots of frosting ended up in their tummies rather than on the house, but you'd never know that by the beauty of the final product! It is a work of art, that's for sure!
I have to admit, Margie and I were a little disappointed with our ability to keep the house standing. After seeing dozens of beautiful erect houses made by friends and their kids on facebook or blogs, I have to wonder what we did wrong. The walls wouldn't stay up more than a few minutes at a time. It is about the process, and not the product, right?! We sure had fun!
