In celebration of finding my camera (let us not dwell on the fact that I have also misplaced D's camera and he is in the desert without it until I unearth it...), here we have pictures of the cookies we made today (I iced, kids decorated) and the gingerbread house we put together the other day.
To be honest, the gingerbread house was pre-baked (IKEA purchase) but we furnished the icing, the candy, and the duct tape. We took two ranch house kits and tinkered to make a two-story house. And it worked. Amazing.

I'm so impressed by the 2-storey house. My nieces and I assembled a kit a few years ago and agreed that what we'd made wasn't a ginger bread house, but a gingerbread shack! It was wonky, the decorations all slid...but it tatsted good.
Gingerbread and I don't get along. Seriously. I make an effort... and gingerbread laughs at me.
I love it!! That's so cute!! We made a gingerbread spooky house at Halloween last year with Grayson and my sister's his Aunts it was so much fun!!
How fun! I have never attempted a gingerbread house, but my husband would love anything decorating that involved duct tape! :)
Duct tape, really?
Wow I'm impressed with that 2 story gingerbread house!!!! Will you eat it later? And will it still taste fresh?!?
But Lynn, I don't think you eat gingerbread houses. Just look what happens to lost children in the woods when they try. If you wish to try to eat it, however, take comfort in the fact that it was probably manufactured in Sweden and not in China where the candy buttons would be laced with strychnine.
Susie, can I have a cookie?
