Our Gingerbread House

This year I decided to do a "Countdown to Christmas!"  I made us an activity-a-day countdown.  Some of the things I included are: watch a Christmas movie, read Christmas stories, make Christmas cookies, cut out snowflakes, see the elves at Gardner Village, etc.  One activity was to make a gingerbread house.  I found an icing recipe that was called "gingerbread house glue" and whipped up a batch.  Collin was way excited.  First Greg and I put the walls together while Collin checked out all the decorations.  Then we waited for that to dry.  By that time, Collin was mostly done.  So Greg and I each took a turn to decorate and then Collin wanted in and finished off the house.  Here's some pictures:

Finished house!
HOORAY!!
